API
Studio

Reimagining how developers design, test, and document APIs — a collaborative workspace where visual design meets developer tooling. Postman meets Figma for APIs.

Idea Phase
=========================================================================== ---[ EAX LABS PRODUCT BRIEF ]--- Title : API Studio Codename : Project AS Author : eax labs Status : idea phase Class : developer tools / api infrastructure Priority : high Abstract : A unified workspace for designing, testing, mocking, and documenting APIs with real-time collaboration. ===========================================================================

The Vision

$ cat manifesto.txt # ── THE PROBLEM ── "API development is fragmented. Designers use one tool, developers use another, and documentation lives in a wiki nobody reads." $ describe --vision # ── THE SOLUTION ── API Studio merges visual design, request building, mock data generation, and analytics into a single collaborative workspace. $ explain --approach Design your API schema visually. Test endpoints in real time. Generate mock servers with one click. Auto-produce documentation that stays in sync with your actual implementation. $ echo $PHILOSOPHY "APIs are interfaces. They deserve the same design rigor we give to user interfaces."

Core Features

⚙
Visual API Designer
Drag-and-drop schema builder with real-time OpenAPI spec generation. Design endpoints, models, and relationships on an infinite canvas.
⚡
Request Builder
Craft and execute HTTP requests with syntax highlighting, environment variables, chained requests, and response diffing across versions.
⚖
Mock Data Engine
Auto-generate realistic mock servers from your schema. Supports custom faker rules, latency simulation, and stateful mocking.
★
Team Collaboration
Real-time multiplayer editing with cursors, comments on endpoints, change history, branching workflows, and role-based access control.
✎
Auto Documentation
Living documentation generated directly from your API definitions. Always in sync, beautifully themed, and embeddable anywhere.
■
Analytics Dashboard
Track endpoint usage, response times, error rates, and breaking changes. Understand how your API is consumed in production.
