What kind of content do we accept?
The Apidog Blog is a publication about API-related knowledge, API effective strategies, and viewpoints towards API. We want to help people deepen their understanding of API, and help developers work more efficiently with API.
With the Apidog blog, we want to connect Apidog - an all-in-one API development tool to all potential users of the API including back or front-end developers, test engineers, product managers, tech managers, etc.
So the guest posts that we can accept must be related to API (API tools, frameworks, libraries, even your own pointviews, etc.) and development.
Here are some examples
Viewpoints for a specific role: In your role, the experience you gained working with the API, any tips that can be more effective. Do not hesitate to share these tips with our readers.
Tips for working with APIs efficiently at work: For the API-related works, do you have any experience with a specific tool or workflow that helped you or your team more efficiently?
Your experience using Apidog: Share with our readers how you use Apidog to make your API-related work more efficient.
Whatever you're excited about APIs: We welcome any API or development-related topics, please share with us whatever you're excited about.
