How Criteria works
Start designing APIs in 3 easy steps.
- 1. Describe your business
Start from scratch or import an existing API definition. Add your business objects and use cases.
- 2. Fill in the blanks
View your API as a documentation mockup. Fill in any missing descriptions and refine.
- 3. Share with stakeholders
Share your API design mockup with customers and other stakeholders. Incorporate any changes from their feedback in a single source of truth.
