Routebase — API Lifecycle Platform
by Routebase
One living OpenAPI spec for your API lifecycle: docs, API mocking, API testing, monitoring.
Tired of docs, mocks, and tests that no longer match the API they were built from? Your API lives in several copies across OpenAPI files, documentation, mocks, tests, and monitoring tools, and each copy drifts on its own schedule until that drift turns into bugs. By removing the drift, Routebase ensures a seamless and efficient API lifecycle. Every copy of your API is generated from one living OpenAPI spec, so a change to the contract reaches your documentation, API mocking, API testing, and monitoring in a single publish.
Routebase is an API lifecycle platform built for the teams that own an API, including developers, frontend engineers, QA teams, and on-call personnel, and it is available on Microsoft Azure in the EU and US. You design your API using a visual OpenAPI editor, eliminating the need for manual YAML editing. From this single source of truth, Routebase also gives you spec branches with merge requests, breaking-change detection, API mocking with custom rules and proxy mode, and API testing with field-level diffs to catch and address any discrepancies.
Additionally, the platform includes security scanning in the API testing workflow, API governance rules, and style-guide enforcement, ensuring your APIs are robust and consistent. Whether you're looking to streamline API design, enable parallel development with API mocking, or maintain consistency across environments with automated API testing and monitoring, Routebase provides a comprehensive API lifecycle solution.
Every Routebase workspace also includes a built-in MCP server, so AI agents in Visual Studio Code, Claude, Codex, or Cursor can work directly with the same source of truth as your team. They can design endpoints, automate API testing by writing and running test suites from the spec, and lint OpenAPI specs under your team's existing permissions, without any custom integration work.
By consolidating the entire API lifecycle, from design and API mocking to API testing and monitoring, into one platform, Routebase helps teams work more efficiently, reduce errors, and deliver high-quality APIs that meet modern development standards.
