About Appear: Automating the Future of APIs
We're a small team of builders passionate about simplifying API lifecycle management and empowering engineering teams to build better, faster.
The Genesis of Appear
Appear was born from a simple observation of API tooling: "There has to be a better way". While APIs have become the backbone of modern software, managing their schemas and documentation remains a largely manual, error-prone, and time-consuming process. We have experienced this from different angles; working in the teams responsible for the APIs, and balancing technical debt and customer value. We've seen teams, and been in them, bogged down by outdated documentation, breaking changes, and the sheer complexity of evolving API landscapes.
We see a reality where API schemas and documentation are not a bottleneck but an enabler; a programmable artifact that adapts and evolves with your services and products. A reality where developers can focus on innovation, not on the tedious upkeep of schema definitions. This vision led to the creation of Appear, an introspector agent-based platform designed to automate the entire API schema lifecycle.
From schema-last automatic discovery and validation to intelligent documentation and AI-native integrations, Appear is built to give engineering teams the leverage they need to operate at scale and speed. We are lowering the barrier to entry for API management to use what you already have, and empowering engineering teams to focus on innovation in days, not months.
