ReadyAPI Tests
Apidog Connects the API Lifecycle
Why Teams Switch from ReadyAPI to Apidog
Not because ReadyAPI cannot test APIs. Because testing is only one part of building, explaining, reviewing, and shipping them.
One Workspace for the API Lifecycle
Keep specifications, schemas, examples, requests, mocks, tests, and documentation connected instead of importing API context into a test-only project.
Collaboration Beyond Project Files
Give developers, QA, product, and technical writers a shared web and desktop workspace with comments, branches, change history, and role-based access.
Interactive Documentation Built In
Publish branded, searchable API docs with “Try it,” code samples, versions, visibility controls, and custom domains directly from the working definition.
Schema-Driven Smart Mocking
Generate realistic, constraint-aware mock data automatically, then add fixed values, Faker expressions, or custom rules only where behavior requires them.
Transparent Pricing & Free Team Space
Avoid expensive per-seat licenses. Apidog offers a forever-free plan for teams up to 4 members and affordable, transparent pricing for enterprise scale.
Native AI-Agent Workflows & MCP Support
Empower Cursor, Claude Code, and AI agents to create, test, and manage APIs directly from the terminal via Apidog CLI and MCP Server.
A Better API Design-first Platform
Apidog implements API Design-first, where API specifications and modifications can be automatically
synchronized across every stage of the API lifecycle.

Implement REAL API Design-first
Apidog implements API Design-first, facilitating the effortless synchronization of API,specifications and modifications across the entire API lifecycle.
Built for the AI-Agent Era
Apidog CLI is built to work with AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex—bringing API workflows into your automated development pipeline.
Built for AI Agents
Designed from the ground up to work seamlessly with AI agents. Automate API operations, test scenarios, and documentation updates.
CI/CD Ready
Integrate with Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions. Run test scenarios automatically and get detailed HTML reports after each build.
Command-Line Control
Docs, schemas, mocks, environments, tests, imports, exports—manage it all from the terminal. Same capabilities as the Apidog app, right in your CI pipeline.
# Install Apidog CLI
npm install -g apidog-cli
# Run a test scenario in CI
apidog run scenario --scenario-id 12345 --env production
# Sync your specifications with Git
apidog spec sync --project-id my-project
# Install Apidog Skill for AI Agents (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor)
