Design Consistent, Compliant, and Reusable APIs
Standardize how your teams build APIs with open standards, built-in governance, and AI-assisted design.
Deliver quality, secure APIs that are ready for deployment anywhere.
Why it matters
Poorly designed APIs slow down teams and create friction.
WSO2 API Manager fixes that by moving governance,
validation, and collaboration into the design phase—so APIs are compliant before they go live.
Design once, align everywhere
Ensure design consistency across teams
Catch issues early
Eliminate late-stage policy violations
Move faster with confidence
Speed up reviews and approvals
Build for
reuse
Improve developer experience and reuse
A complete design toolkit for
modern APIs
Contract-first API design
Create high quality and consistent API designs by starting with an OpenAPI or AsyncAPI specification. Define contracts clearly, generate versions automatically, and maintain a single source of truth for every API.
AI-assisted authoring
Use built-in AI to generate or refine API specs from plain language. Validate fields, naming, and security automatically—so teams focus on innovation, not boilerplate.
Design-time governance
Prevent inconsistencies early. Apply Spectral and OPA rules for naming, versioning, and security right in the design phase.
Mocking and testing
Prototype and test APIs before implementation. Generate mock responses, validate payloads, and iterate fast with real-world data scenarios.
Collaborative API design
Bring architects, developers, and business teams together. Comment, approve, and version APIs in a shared workspace.
Seamless publishing
Improve developer productivity with a seamless process to publish APIs for discovery, complete with generated docs and SDKs.
Open standards and
integration
Built on open standards and designed for interoperability. Supports OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC and more to empower developers to visually edit and explore APIs with a SwaggerHub like experience to accelerate development and rapid prototyping. WSO2 API Manager gives you a complete, design-first foundation for modern API development. Define once, govern everywhere, and deliver APIs that are ready for scale.
