OpenAPI Designer

Start designing API in minutes using Stoplight's API designer and API design software modeling tool. Use the OpenAPI Specification (formerly known as Swagger) with Stoplight’s visual API editor to design consistent and standardized REST APIs for your organization. Without writing any code, model and design APIs faster than ever while simultaneously getting feedback on your prototypes with our hosted mock servers using the Stoplight API design tool.

Quick to Start

Get started quickly with API design-first principles using our API development, API building tools and online API creator. Import an existing API or start from scratch with a new API, zero coding required. The Visual Editor reduces time to get started on your API designer online by providing an intuitive UI as part of the API maker and design API process.

Powerful, Visual Editor

Design an API with speed and efficiency from scratch using our design API tool online. Stoplight’s Visual Editor decreases the learning curve so you don’t need to be an OpenAPI expert to create first-class API designs. Describe endpoints, headers, bodies, multiple responses, query string parameters, shared models, and much more whilst designing APIs.

Integrated Mock Servers

Instantly prototype and collaborate on your API design with our integrated, hosted Mock Servers, powered by Prism. Mock a single API, multiple APIs, or even just a few endpoints. Increase efficiency by allowing your frontend teams to start implementation while the backend team develops the API.
