Search Made Smarter
Tired of searching high and low? Our optimized search flow is here to save the day. With context-aware search and intelligent filtering, finding what you need has never been easier. Say hello to a search that works as hard as you do.
We’re rolling out a new scoring system to make our search better than ever! This system looks at three main things: Business, Trust, and Engagement.
Under Business, we consider how well the API is doing commercially and its presence in Rapid’s marketplace. Trust looks at reliability, user trust, and security. Engagement focuses on how users interact with the API, their satisfaction, and engagement levels.
Our updated scoring and search now displays results based on our new scoring system. It also shows extra info for each API, making it faster and easier to choose the right one.

When you land on the API page, you’ll find comprehensive documentation that allows you, as a consumer, to explore the API thoroughly and ensure it meets your requirements. As a provider, you have the opportunity to showcase and emphasize the most relevant information.
We’ve fine-tuned the layout of the API page to ensure that essential information is presented in a clear and organized manner.

Improved Playground Experience
In our ongoing quest to streamline the process of testing APIs, we’ve taken significant strides to simplify the user experience. Through a series of UI enhancements, we’ve made testing APIs more intuitive as well as significantly faster. One notable improvement is our focus on eliminating the need for excessive scrolling, ensuring that users can swiftly navigate through the interface with ease.
Moreover, we’ve meticulously optimized various sections within the UI to prioritize efficiency, with particular emphasis on reducing the time required to achieve key milestones, such as reaching a response time of 200. By fine-tuning these aspects of the platform, we’re empowering developers and testers alike to expedite their workflow and enhance overall productivity.
Enhanced Communication Tools: Stay Connected, Stay Engaged
Communication is key, and we’re giving you the tools to unlock endless possibilities. From seamless team collaboration to engaging user interactions, we’re making sure you stay connected every step of the way.
We’ve recently enhanced our discussion tool with a new feature: the ability to mark discussions as “answered.” This feature helps streamline communication by indicating when questions or topics have been addressed. Furthermore, we’ve introduced a functionality where only subscribed users can participate in these discussions. This ensures that engagement remains meaningful and relevant within your community, fostering a more focused exchange of ideas.
So, What’s Next?
