Summary

As of February 11th, 2019, the Mashape API marketplace UI is being deprecated, with all traffic redirected to the RapidAPI Marketplace, which has been enhanced with new features to improve API discovery, testing, and management. This change follows the acquisition and integration of Mashape by RapidAPI, resulting in a unified platform that maintains existing Mashape functionalities while introducing a revamped marketplace, a new provider dashboard, and an improved proxy for faster response times and enhanced security. Users of APIs on Mashape can continue their operations seamlessly on RapidAPI using the same credentials and API keys, while also benefiting from new features such as API collections, real-time metrics, and advanced analytics for deeper insights into API performance and user segmentation. The transition aims to provide a more intuitive and comprehensive experience for both API consumers and providers, ensuring that developers can efficiently find, consume, and manage APIs.
