You've been here before.

The API exists. The docs don't. Maybe they never existed. Maybe the person who wrote them left. Maybe it's a third-party service with a 404 where the Swagger page should be.

So you do what you always do. Open the network tab. Fire off curl requests. Guess at which fields are required. Break things in staging before you figure it out. That's hours. For every undocumented endpoint you touch.

cost to you for the first 3 endpoints. Then $15/mo if you want the full picture.

Three steps. Ten seconds.

01

Paste the URL

Drop in any REST endpoint URL. Public or private. Internal or third-party. If you can reach it, APIGhost can document it.

02

We probe it

APIGhost fires a safe, read-only request to the endpoint and analyzes everything: status codes, response headers, authentication schemes, rate limits, and the full response body.

03

You get real documentation

In seconds you have an inferred response schema, a TypeScript interface, auth instructions, and copy-paste code snippets. Share the URL with your team. Export to OpenAPI.

Everything you need to understand an endpoint fast.

Schema Inference

Free

The response schema you were never given.

APIGhost reads every field in the response body and infers the type, format, and optionality. Strings that look like UUIDs are typed as UUIDs. Nullable fields are flagged. Arrays are typed by their element structure.

Auth Detection

Free

Know exactly how to authenticate before writing a line.

Detects Bearer tokens, API keys (in headers or query params), HTTP Basic Auth, or no auth at all. Tells you the exact header name and format. No more scanning Stack Overflow.

Code Snippets

Free + Pro

Working code in your language. Ready to paste.

Every analysis comes with JavaScript, Python, and cURL — with the real URL, detected auth headers, and content type filled in. Paid users get Go, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, Rust, Swift, and Kotlin.

Shareable Docs

Free

Send your team a link, not a wall of JSON.

Every analysis gets a permanent, shareable URL. No account required to view. Add it to your Notion page. Link it in your PR description.

Change Detection

Pro

Know when the API changes before your integration breaks.

Enable monitoring on any endpoint. APIGhost checks it weekly. If the schema changes — a field disappears, a type shifts — you get an email with a precise diff before it becomes a production incident.

OpenAPI Export

Pro

Import straight into Postman, Insomnia, or Swagger UI.

Every analysis can be exported as a valid OpenAPI 3.1 specification. Download individual endpoints or combine your entire catalog into one spec.

Simple pricing that scales with your team.

What developers say.

I spent two hours trying to figure out the response shape of a legacy billing endpoint. Pasted it into APIGhost and had the TypeScript interface in eight seconds. It's embarrassingly useful.

Backend engineer, Series B startup

We set up change detection on our top 12 third-party integrations. Last month it caught a breaking schema change in our payment gateway API 4 days before it would have hit production.

Platform engineer, fintech

I'm a freelancer. Before I quote a project I need to understand what APIs I'm working with. APIGhost is the first thing I open when a client sends me an endpoint to evaluate.

Questions developers actually ask.

Does APIGhost store my API credentials?

No. If you're a paid user sending auth headers for private endpoint support, those headers are used only for the single probe request and are never written to our database. We store the header name (e.g., 'Authorization') but never the value.

Can it document GraphQL endpoints?

APIGhost currently focuses on REST endpoints that return JSON. GraphQL introspection support is on our roadmap. For now, if you paste a GraphQL endpoint URL, we'll analyze the response you get.

What if the endpoint returns an error or requires specific query params?

APIGhost makes a best-effort GET request. If the endpoint returns a 401, 404, or other error, we'll document what we can — including the error schema, which is often just as useful. Paid users can add auth headers to get past 401s.

Can I use this for internal company APIs?

Yes, with the paid plan. If your internal API is accessible from the public internet (even behind auth), you can use private endpoint support to send your credentials. APIs on a private network or VPN are not reachable by our servers.

How is schema inference different from just looking at the JSON?

Raw JSON doesn't tell you which fields are optional, what the range of values is for an enum-like field, or what format a string follows (UUID vs email vs date-time). APIGhost infers all of this automatically.

What APIs can it not handle?

We can't probe endpoints on private networks, localhost, or internal IP ranges (SSRF protection). We don't send POST requests — analysis is always read-only.
