What is Shakio?

Placed under the category of developer tools, Sharkio has been specifically crafted as an API proxy tool to enrich the working landscape for developers. All requests sent to your API are recorded by Sharkio which brings a plethora of features to refine the workflow of API development. The utility of Sharkio is wide and varied. It acts as a request recording tool where it records all the API requests as a proxy. The request and its consequential data response are captured, enabling detailed traffic analysis and inspection. Another key feature that it offers is the Request Replay. This makes it feasible for developers to duplicate the recorded requests with utmost ease. Often used for areas such as testing, debugging and reproducing specific scenarios during API development, this feature proves to be quite useful. Sharkio doesn’t fail short in saving developers’ time too. The tool generates types directly for the preferred programming language, drawing real data from the recorded requests. This special feature produces automatic code snippets or data models that are fully in sync with the API’s structure.

Fragmented information tends to be a thing of the past thanks to a feature provided by Sharkio – Documentation Generation. It creates API documentation solely based on recorded requests, extracting relevant information and formatting it into understandable API documentation. This aids other developers in understanding and using the API easily. The Test Suite Generation capability of Sharkio paves the path for developers to generate test suites using the previously recorded requests. Regularly running a pre-configured set of tests assures the stability and reliability of the API. AI capabilities are not left behind. They have been incorporated into the tool to enhance the interaction of the API. Developers now find it comfortable to interact with the API using natural language or predefined commands, which makes the development process more efficient and intuitive. Sharkio has found takers amongst different roles such as API Developers, Development Teams, API Documentation Writers and Quality Assurance (QA) Engineers. It helps these professionals in improving their development, testing, debugging, documentation, and code generation seamlessly. Ultimately, with Sharkio, the development environment for API developers gets a significant enhancement.
