Seems solid but not perfect: Mashape

I like that it's easy to integrate with my own application. The dashboard view is very helpful for understanding what data you're getting back from your APIs. It would be nice if there was more info about each endpoint. For example, when I'm writing code for one of my applications, I can't figure out how many requests per second my app is making. Also, sometimes the documentation isn't great. Sometimes I don't understand why certain things are happening in the response for an endpoint. It's…

Pros
  • Easy integration
  • Can pull json directly into javascript libraries such nodejs or ruby (easiest way)
  • Good support community via slack & email.
  • haven’t used this long enough!
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Easy cloud-based integration builder

It's easy to get started with any RESTful endpoint for which I have credentials (or can generate from my console). There are some restrictions around what languages you use in your requests/responses as well but not too restrictive otherwise - most common ones like python etc work fine if using curl or postman instead anyway! For example this one returns JSON that isn't parsed unless it comes through via POST / PATCH. If only returned XML then just add 'Accept:"application/*"'. The UI could be…

Pros
  • Easy integration
  • Great support team.

A great alternative and easy way: Mashape

I like that it's open source software (free to use). It makes creating apps simple for developers who are looking into building their own mobile app or website in different languages such as PHP, Swift etc. And also with its ease-of-use we can integrate other services easily which will lead us towards our goal easier without having some technical skills required. There isn't anything i dislike about this tool but maybe if there could be more features added later down the road so they can have…

Pros
  • Easy access.
  • Great support team always helpful whenever needed.
  • Very easy way to build applications quickly through templates provided by them instead needing much coding knowledge beforehand just need an idea then you're good to go!! :)
Cons
  • Some difficulties
