Apiary is an API design and documentation platform, now part of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. With 486,000+ users and 591,000+ APIs managed, it uses API Blueprint and Swagger/OpenAPI specifications to produce interactive API documentation, mock servers, automated testing, and collaborative API design workflows. Apiary enables teams to design APIs before writing code, generate documentation automatically, and validate implementations against specifications.

API Blueprint is a high-level API design language created by Apiary for designing and documenting web APIs. It uses a Markdown-based syntax that is human-readable and machine-parseable, enabling teams to design APIs collaboratively and generate documentation, mock servers, and tests from a single source of truth.
