RapidAPI for Teams

Share and collaborate on internal or external APIs and
microservices in a private workspace

Collaborate on APIs in a
Private Workspace

As companies transition to using microservices in their architectures, more APIs are created across the organization.

Consequently, it becomes more challenging for developers to find these internal APIs and reuse them when they are developing new software. And when developers subscribe to external APIs, they need a collaborative solution for sharing them internally.

RapidAPI for Teams enables you to publish, share, and connect to internal APIs, as well as external APIs, and microservices.

With RapidAPI for Teams, developers can create an organization and invite others to share internal and external APIs from a private workspace.

Publish and Share APIs

RapidAPI for Teams enables developers to publish their APIs into a private workspace.

  • Design & Publish APIs – use RapidAPI to design API documentation & share it internally with a live API testing tool & code snippet generator
  • Secure APIs With Sharing & Access Control – use RapidAPI to define which teams have access to APIs, approve access on a case-by-case basis, and share in the RapidAPI Hub
  • Leverage Open API & CI/CD Integration – integrate RapidAPI into the development flow by uploading APIs with OpenAPI (Swagger) specs, and updating them from CI/CD flows

Search, Discover and Connect
to Internal APIs

Developers can find any internal API, view its documentation, test it, and connect directly. Or collaborate and share information about the API right in RapidAPI.

  • Search and Discover APIs – find the right API with powerful search and filtering
  • Test from Browser – view interactive API docs and test any endpoint from the browser to quickly understand how the API functions
  • Access SDK & Code Snippets – connect to APIs with automatically generated SDKs and code snippets in 20+ programing languages

Monitor API Usage and Performance

RapidAPI helps you monitor and analyze the performance of the internal and external APIs you are using, making it easier to debug and maintain your application.

  • Access Detailed Analytics – get insights into every API, right down to the endpoint, consumer, and request level
  • Optimize APIs – know all the users of your API, and analyze how they call different endpoints to optimize your API
  • Optimize Applications – track all the APIs used by an application and understand their impact on its performance
  • Consolidate Billing – pay for all your public API consumption from one place
