we have used spotlight for API documentation and yaml syntax linter which is the best part of this tool. Also, it helps to host API spec documentation. Overall it's worth it. It also supports github plugins to support dev branches and git strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- API Spec editor should be user friendly

- Github plugins not that much accurate while taking pull from origin if there are conflicts then it fails. Hence we have to remove the branch and create a new one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stoplight is quite easy to use and even non-technical users can get started quickly. It serves multiple use cases like API design, API development, API mocking, API documentation, and even general documentation & guides. It also helps you set up software and API quality processes and checks via linting. It is a good competitor to Postman, which is also trying to go for the market of complete API stack - development, documentation and distribution stack. The way the team is working on and thinking of new features is commendable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support could be better. There are a lot of feedback items on their public roadmap that they should absolutely get to working on and have more technical people on the support side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's straightforward to use.

- One of the best tools in the market.

- The team is very supportive and quickly responds to queries.

- Git integration is the best feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stoplight automatically and effortlessly maps an API and then presents services and tooling to decrease development time and boost accessibility and reliability. Makes API users more productive.

I like how he OpenAPI specification toolkit that allows us to produce OpenAPI specification without the need of technical knowledge background.

I like how easy to merge OpenAPI files with Markdown to produce attractive documentation for external and internal stakeholders.

I have been able to utilize the OpenAPI specification with the softwares visual editor which helps me to create standardized and consistent REST APIs for my organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without coding I am able to design complex APIs rapidly. I appreciate the good work done by the support team which is dedicated and proactive 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
