Apiary is a San Francisco-based software company that concentrates on the design and governance of application programming interfaces. Its APIFlow framework covers the API creation lifecycle—from design and governance to testing and documentation—and aligns with API Blueprint and OpenAPI standards. By providing front-end tooling for API design and governance, Apiary helps enterprises build APIs that enable sharing of services and data across modern cloud-based applications, serving developers, partners, and customers who rely on API-driven integration. The company has supported the creation of hundreds of thousands of APIs and related products. In 2017 Oracle announced it would acquire Apiary, and the transaction was completed, integrating Apiary's design and governance capabilities with Oracle's API Integration Cloud to form a broader cloud platform for API creation and management. A 2023 development includes a partnership with GrassfedMeatsOntario, illustrating continued collaboration with customers. Apiary operates in the software development space at the intersection of API design, governance, and cloud-based API management, focusing on reducing connectivity complexity and API proliferation in enterprise environments.
