Start working API-first
Simple and effective API governance. Optic helps your team ship better APIs without slowing you down.
have accurate documentation,
never ship breaking changes,
and have a consistent design
Optic ensures your documentation is accurate, your changes are backwards-compatible, and the API design follows the latest standards. Catch breaking changes before they affect your consumers, and get the API design right the first time.
- OpenAPI is accurate
- ⦿
- No Breaking Changes
- ⦿
- New Endpoints follow v3 API Guidelines
- ⦿
Test for breaking changes
Optic tracks every change to your API and flags changes that will break consumers before they ship.API Style Guides
Optic helps developers follow a common API common style guide whenever they are adding new functionality to the API.Verified Accurate documentation
Optic makes sure your OpenAPI is accurate. Don’t have an OpenAPI spec? Optic can generate an accurate one from your tests.



Optic built an approach to API Governance that helps developers ship better APIs without getting in their way.

Forwards-only governance
Developers turn off Spectral rules, they never turn off Optic. Our linter understands the API lifecycle and will only tell developers to change the design in ways that won’t break the consumer.Get feedback early
Optic helps every stakeholder give feedback on API designs before thing ship. Figure out the best design before consumers start depending on itOptic helps developers write OpenAPI
Documenting new endpoints and changes to existing ones in OpenAPI is difficult. Optic generates all the boilerplate OpenAPI and most of the schemas for you … it’s your co-pilot.Developer CLI
Developers can do everything with our CLI. Run commands locally, and reproduce CI failures on your machine.Optic makes it easy to find the documentation and changelogs for every API. Developers are never blocked by bad documentation and can always find the references they need. Platform teams can see which APIs they have, what’s being worked on, and the overall health of the APIs on one plane of glass.

Changelogs
Optic tracks every change to your API in one place. Get a Stripe-style API Changelog for each service so you never miss a change againMetrics
Keep track of the API development across teams. Understand how many APIs you have, which ones change, and how often each service breaks.Discover + Catalog all your APIs
Optic helps you find and document every API in your company. Stop duplicating work and proactively deprecate unused services.Integrations
Optic makes sure every API has an accurate spec. Use those specs to generate code, publish docs, send change notifications to consumers, etc. It's the source of truth for everything API.Integrations

OpenAPI 3.x
Optic supports the OpenAPI 3 standard. If you don't have an OpenAPI file the capture command in the CLI will help you create one.

Spectral Linter
Import your Spectral lint rules and run them at the correct step of the API lifecycle. Enforce your latest standards on new endpoints without failing legacy endpoints that can not change

GitHub | GitLab
Add effective API Reviews to GitHub or GitLab instance (enterprise supported!) and run Optic in CI pipelines.

Postman
Generate OpenAPI from the traffic in your Postman Collection. When the collection changes, Optic can update the specification for you.

Markdown Badges
Publish your API's changelogs, documentation accuracy, and other stats with live badges
API Access
Optic is the source of truth for your APIs. Pull accurate specs for your API Gateway, homegrown docs portals, and code generators.
