# Apidog > All-in-one API platform for designing, debugging, mocking, testing, and documenting APIs with real-time collaboration. Apidog is a comprehensive API development platform that combines API design, debugging, mocking, testing, and documentation into a single unified tool. It implements an API design-first approach, enabling teams to visually craft APIs before coding and maintain synchronization across the entire API lifecycle. The platform serves as an alternative to multiple tools like Postman, Swagger, Stoplight, and JMeter. **Key Features:** - **Visual API Design** - Create APIs using intuitive interfaces with reusable components and full OpenAPI support, allowing teams to perfect specifications before writing code - **API Debugging Toolkit** - Run live tests directly on API specs to automatically catch inconsistencies or breaking changes between specifications and implementation - **Automated Testing** - Build low-code test scenarios with assertions and branching logic to verify full workflows, guard against regressions, and integrate into CI/CD pipelines - **Smart Mock Server** - Generate realistic mock responses based on field names and schemas, enabling frontend teams to work independently before backend completion - **Auto-Generated Documentation** - Transform live specs into sleek web pages with "Try It Out" functionality, code samples, versioning, and custom domain support - **Real-Time Collaboration** - Work together with team members simultaneously on API projects with activity feeds and unlimited API comments - **Multi-Protocol Support** - Handle HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, WebSocket, Socket.io, and SSE protocols - **Database Operations** - Execute SQL and NoSQL database operations including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and ClickHouse - **Sprint Branches and Versioning** - Manage API changes with branching and version control capabilities - **Cross-Platform Availability** - Access via desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux, web application, browser extension, and CLI tools To get started with Apidog, download the desktop application or launch the web app directly from the website. Create a free account to access core features for up to 4 users, including full API client support, mocking, testing, and basic documentation. Teams can upgrade to paid plans for enhanced collaboration features, extended API change history, and priority support. ## Features - Visual API design with OpenAPI support - API debugging and validation - Automated API testing with CI/CD integration - Smart mock server generation - Auto-generated API documentation - Real-time team collaboration - Multi-protocol support (HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, WebSocket, SSE) - SQL and NoSQL database operations - Sprint branches and versioning - Custom domains for documentation - Pre/Post scripting - Test scenario orchestration - Local and cloud mock servers - Apidog CLI - Browser extension - IntelliJ IDEA integration ## Integrations OpenAPI, Swagger, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, SAML SSO, LDAP, OKTA, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, Slack, Microsoft Teams, IntelliJ IDEA ## Platforms WINDOWS, MACOS, LINUX, WEB, BROWSER_EXTENSION, JETBRAINS_PLUGIN, API ## Pricing Freemium — Free tier available with paid upgrades ## Links - Website: https://apidog.com - Documentation: https://docs.apidog.com/ - Repository: https://github.com/orgs/apidog - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/apidog
