ApyHub Fusion - Build, test, document your APIs & collaborate in real-time

by•
Fusion is our answer to the bottlenecks we have observed in the entire API Lifecycle. We call Fusion "The "Notion-like API Client" since we designed it in order to help software teams REALLY collaborate in a way that has never been done before.

Hi Product Hunters and Makers, I'm Samuel, creator of Fusion, the latest addition to the ApyHub API Ecosystem. We're thrilled to launch Fusion on PH! 🚀 ApyHub hosts over 110 APIs in our curated API catalog and operates hundreds of internal APIs that power our platform. This is why we have always been very meticulous about API management. However, the API clients (like Postman and even the newer, supposedly “modern” ones) that we used for building, testing, and documenting these APIs did not make our lives easier. We wanted something different, better and easier and we decided to do something about it. Fusion is the result! Fusion is built with the developer in mind. Inspired by tools like Notion, Linear, and Google Docs, it is designed to offer developers a tool they can truly make their own. Here’s how Fusion stands out compared to all other legacy API clients: 🧩 Composable Fusion Blocks: Each aspect of an API request is modular and composable, including headers, query parameters, form inputs, JSON bodies, and scripts. This offers developers, QA, and technical writers great flexibility, reducing redundancy and improving API test management efficiency. 📄Unified Fusion Documents: API specs, tests, and documentation are merged into a single, consistent document, ensuring that dev teams are always on the same page... Literally. 🦸‍♀️Slash Commands: Fusion’s secret superpower lies in its rich Slash Commands. Every new slash command that we add is a whole new feature. This way, adding more features and capabilities doesn’t compromise the developer experience: all these features stay “hidden” until they are invoked through the slash commands. Do you have some ideas about some new slash commands? Write in the comments below.👇 🙌 Keyboard-First Design: Fusion is built with a keyboard-first design, empowering developers to work faster, navigating between different Fusion Blocks and Docs seamlessly. 💬Real-Time Collaboration: Everyone – from frontend and backend developers to QA, technical writers, and product managers – can view, discuss, & collaborate on API specs, tests, and documentation in real-time. 🧙‍♂️Fusion AI: Fusion’s AI capabilities seamlessly integrate into all API development workflows, help with API documentation & testing, supercharging the entire API Lifecycle. Developers and engineering teams can save up to 60% of their time on building, testing, and documenting APIs. With Fusion, you have an API client that is as simple as you want it to be and as powerful as you need it to be. ⚡Exclusive PH offer: We are very grateful to the PH community, who showed us so much love and provided valuable feedback since our initial launch, which is why we are offering 25% off the Fusion Ultra plan for the first 6 months if you sign up using the code “PHFUSION25” . The offer is valid until the end of July 2024*⚡ We’ll be in the comments section below 👇 Have further questions and queries? Join the conversation on our Discord server:
Hi Samuel and the Fusion Team, Just saw your launch on Product Hunt and the concept of Fusion as a developer-focused API client built with modularity and collaboration in mind sounds very promising! The challenges of managing APIs through traditional tools are well understood, and Fusion's approach seems like a refreshing alternative. A couple of questions to delve deeper: - Can Fusion integrate with existing API development workflows and tools (like CI/CD pipelines) or does it require a complete switch? Additionally, how customizable is the tool to accommodate specific team workflows? - Can you elaborate on the functionalities of Fusion AI and how it assists with API documentation and testing? As a Full stack developer with experience in API integration, I believe I could potentially contribute to Fusion's development in areas like: - Exploring ways to further strengthen API security features within Fusion. - Contributing to building customizable integrations with popular development tools and fostering flexible workflows within Fusion. I'd love to learn more about Fusion's roadmap and how I can contribute to making it the ultimate API development companion. Congratulations on the launch and the exclusive Product Hunt offer! Best regards, Max
Fusion sounds impressive, Samuel! Looking forward to trying the real-time collaboration features.
Maker
thanks Christine, please do go ahead and try out and get your team involved. It starts being more efficient to bring all the stakeholders together - from product managers, developers, QA, support and technical writers!
Thanks Bee! Give it a try :)
Can't wait to see it - exciting times.
Makes handling APIs really intuitive especially for people coming from the no-code paradigm. Congrats on the launch :)
Maker
thanks a lot! Indeed no coders also deserve some love :)
Maker
Thanks you, our goal is to make handling APIs intuitive for both technical and non-technical teams.
Looks like a cool product - best of luck with the launch!
Maker
thanks for the support! Do check out the interactive demo!
Maker
Thank you :)
Thanks Robin! Give it a try :)
Fusion seems like an amazing tool! The composable Fusion Blocks and AI integration are impressive. Real-time collaboration is a huge plus. Congrats on the launch!
Maker
Thank you :)
Maker
Thanks Andreas. There are so many small details that we focused on in order to create a delightful developer experience. We hope you discover them all :) once you start using it!
whoaaa, this is actually interesting
Maker
Glad you think that Rubi! Please go and check it out. I think it is quite powerful!
Maker
happy you find it interesting Rubi. Are you a developer? How are you currently building APIs? looking forward to your feedback.
can this tool convert from OpenAPI to ApyHub document?
Maker
yes you can import from open API and Postman (for now - we will keep adding more options)
interesting....
what is the benefit of using it over postman?
Maker
There are many benefits but ill list some of the key benefits and differences: - Modularity: 
 In legacy API clients like Postman - every API request is a monolithic block - so you need to keep cloning every request if you want to make a few changes to the request.
With Fusion, every part of an API request is a Fusion Block, allowing you to compose these together and keep them in sync as well using Linked Blocks. So it creates tremendous efficiency when it comes to organising your APIs and tests. - Collaboration:
 In most of these legacy clients, collaboration is mainly around documentation and working on API collections, users cannot easily discuss and ideate around APIs. So you mainly end up using these API clients for testing and using other tools to collaborate with your team like slack, Jira etc. 
Within Fusion, you can collaborate with your team while you are testing the APIs, or documenting them or even designing them - collaboration happens seamlessly around the APIs. - Developer Experience:
 One of the major issues and complaints we see around the legacy API clients is that they are clunky and cluttered, so while they have a lot of features its a pain to find and use them. And each new feature added to the product, adds more complexity. With Fusion, you have a simple, dynamic and functional document that adapts to tailored for the APIs that you are designing. All the rich features are hidden away but just a simple, slash command away. So you can keep the interface as simple as you want or you make it as powerful as you need making for a delightful developer experience. Let me know if you see any other differences / benefits after checking out the interactive demo.
Super excited to see this coming live. Kudos to the team and congratulations on this launch 🎉🚀
Maker
thank you for the kind words.
Maker
Thanks Siddharth, let us know if you can think of other ways to improve the developer experience!
Fusion's keyboard-first design sounds intriguing. How intuitive is the learning curve for new developers?
Maker
we designed it in a way to make sure that it becomes super easy for a developer to get started.
Maker
It really is cool Stefans! :) We have a Fusion Doc, for every workspace that has step by step instructions on how you can use different features of Fusion. This is another great power of Fusion Docs, that you can use them not only to build, test and document your APIs .But you can actually start preparing step by step tutorials for your customers or users to use your APIs and execute them right there on the Fusion Doc.. You should give it a try!
This product is wonderfully crafted, seamlessly guiding users through the entire API development and testing process. Beautiful UI and UX. Congrats on a great product guys!
Thank You Matt!
Maker
