The rise of RESTful APIs has been met by a rise in tools for creating, testing, and managing them. Whether you’re a newbie building your first API, or an expert racing an intractable deadline, you have a gamut of services to help you bring your API from concept to production. Many of them won’t cost you a dime.
Following is a sampling of free services for working with APIs. Some are quick and dirty applications that will ease the job of assembling or testing an API. Others are entry-level tiers for full-blown, professional-grade API management services, allowing you to get started on a trial basis and graduate to a higher level of (paid) service if and when you need it.
APImetrics was included in these free and free-tier services and open source utilities, curated by Infoworld.
