Redesigning APIs at APIMatic — A Case Study

APIMatic has been focusing on improving their packaging and features, including the launch of a Developer Experience Portal, package publishing capabilities, improved console commands, and optimized loading speeds for the Developer Portal. To support these new products and offerings, APIMatic revamped their existing APIs to provide more points of access for users, which were previously designed for internal use only. The company prioritized creating stable, scalable, and RESTful APIs with a focus on simplicity, extensibility, reliability, and performance. They also aimed to improve the readability and structuring of the code, make it consistent in naming conventions, and prioritize testing and unit tests. APIMatic used the Richardson Maturity Model to grade their API according to its adherence to REST constraints, aiming for a score of level 3, which designates a truly RESTful API.
