APIWelt

APIWelt is a German-language online platform and knowledge resource dedicated to application programming interfaces (APIs). It provides news, tutorials, documentation, and a directory of APIs for developers, product teams, and researchers.

Originating as a community project, APIWelt aims to connect API providers with developers by offering accessible explanations of API concepts, design patterns, and best practices. Coverage includes REST and GraphQL architectures, API design, security, versioning, monitoring, and governance.

Core features include a news feed with analysis and case studies, tutorials and how-to guides, and sample code. The platform also hosts or links to API documentation, provides an API directory with metadata, categories, pricing information, and user reviews, and offers discussion forums and event listings.

Community and governance: APIWelt relies on contributions from editors and users, with editorial guidelines and moderation to ensure accuracy and reliability. It supports a developer-friendly ecosystem through partnerships with conferences and educational initiatives.

Reception: In the German-speaking developer community, APIWelt is regarded as a practical resource for API trends, tools, and best practices. It serves as a reference point alongside international API portals and industry news sites.
