SmartBear released Swagger Inspector, a free cloud-based API testing and documentation tool to simplify the validation of any API and generate its OpenAPI documentation.

Swagger Inspector builds on the Swagger team’s commitment to provide tools that reduce friction throughout the API lifecycle and leverage open standards based development.

Swagger Inspector was built to make it as easy as possible for developers to check if any API, be it REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and more, works as intended. In addition, developers can automatically generate OpenAPI documentation to make their API readable and easy to work with. Swagger Inspector can create the OpenAPI documentation for any API with the click of a button and host the documentation on SwaggerHub, the design and documentation platform for teams, used by over 100,000 architects and developers.

Swagger Inspector was designed to have practically no learning curve and allows developers to validate if their APIs work as intended and create API documentation without having to learn a new tool or add components into their existing code or processes.

“As APIs are increasingly playing a pivotal role in digital transformation, it becomes imperative to deliver quality, consumable APIs at a faster pace,” said Christian Wright, EVP and GM, API Business at SmartBear. “We built Swagger Inspector to simplify the API development process by empowering developers to easily test and auto-generate their OpenAPI documentation with a single, cloud-based Swagger tool.”
