Fusion is our answer to the bottlenecks we have observed in the entire API Lifecycle. We call Fusion "The "Notion-like API Client" since we designed it in order to help software teams REALLY collaborate in a way that has never been done before.

Hi Product Hunters and Makers, I'm Samuel, creator of Fusion, the latest addition to the ApyHub API Ecosystem. We're thrilled to launch Fusion on PH! 🚀 ApyHub hosts over 110 APIs in our curated API catalog and operates hundreds of internal APIs that power our platform. This is why we have always been very meticulous about API management. However, the API clients (like Postman and even the newer, supposedly “modern” ones) that we used for building, testing, and documenting these APIs did not make our lives easier. We wanted something different, better and easier and we decided to do something about it. Fusion is the result! Fusion is built with the developer in mind. Inspired by tools like Notion, Linear, and Google Docs, it is designed to offer developers a tool they can truly make their own. Here’s how Fusion stands out compared to all other legacy API clients: 🧩 Composable Fusion Blocks: Each aspect of an API request is modular and composable, including headers, query parameters, form inputs, JSON bodies, and scripts. This offers developers, QA, and technical writers great flexibility, reducing redundancy and improving API test management efficiency. 📄Unified Fusion Documents: API specs, tests, and documentation are merged into a single, consistent document, ensuring that dev teams are always on the same page... Literally. 🦸‍♀️Slash Commands: Fusion’s secret superpower lies in its rich Slash Commands. Every new slash command that we add is a whole new feature. This way, adding more features and capabilities doesn’t compromise the developer experience: all these features stay “hidden” until they are invoked through the slash commands. Do you have some ideas about some new slash commands? Write in the comments below.👇 🙌 Keyboard-First Design: Fusion is built with a keyboard-first design, empowering developers to work faster, navigating between different Fusion Blocks and Docs seamlessly. 💬Real-Time Collaboration: Everyone – from frontend and backend developers to QA, technical writers, and product managers – can view, discuss, & collaborate on API specs, tests, and documentation in real-time. 🧙‍♂️Fusion AI: Fusion’s AI capabilities seamlessly integrate into all API development workflows, help with API documentation & testing, supercharging the entire API Lifecycle. Developers and engineering teams can save up to 60% of their time on building, testing, and documenting APIs. With Fusion, you have an API client that is as simple as you want it to be and as powerful as you need it to be. ⚡Exclusive PH offer: We are very grateful to the PH community, who showed us so much love and provided valuable feedback since our initial launch, which is why we are offering 25% off the Fusion Ultra plan for the first 6 months if you sign up using the code “PHFUSION25” . The offer is valid until the end of July 2024*⚡ We’ll be in the comments section below 👇 Have further questions and queries?

@samuelkaluvuri Fusion sounds impressive, Samuel! Looking forward to trying the real-time collaboration features.
Samuel
@christine_orchard thanks Christine, please do go ahead and try out and get your team involved. It starts being more efficient to bring all the stakeholders together - from product managers, developers, QA, support and technical writers!

@samuelkaluvuri Can't wait to see it - exciting times.
Samuel
@max_savonin1 Thanks Max. Regarding your questions. - We intend to make seamlessly integrate into the entire Software Development lifecycle - start from project management tools, git repos, CI/CD, and monitoring as well. - Fusion AI right now can help you generate documentation from just an API request / sepcs, improve existing documentation and also identify when your APIs start behaving differently than what is documented. Besides that Fusion AI also allows you to create client stubs as well as generate openapi specs from an api request. We continue to find more use cases where AI can reduce the manual efforts. Let's connect and discuss your thoughts on how to improve the security features for Fusion and your overall feedback on Fusion. Thanks again for your support!
Samuel
@leovs09 thanks glad. Hope you try it soon!
Shivay Lamba
Love this feature! I know there are a bunch of API client tools out there, but I must say that even managing APIs can become cumbersome very quickly. Thanks for this amazing product.
Samuel
@shivay_at_pieces Exactly Shivay. We look at these different clients, and we noticed one strange thing - all of them look like the postman from a ux perspective - of course they have their own take on it. But fundamentally everyone looks and works the same. We really reimagined how collaboration in the API tooling should actually work and looked at how people would want to *actually* organize their API collections / tests / documentation and built Fusion!
Dan Robins
Looks like a cool product - best of luck with the launch!

Samuel
@matt_gruber Thanks Matt! We really focused on ensuring that it offers a delightful developer experience!
Stefans Keiss
Fusion's keyboard-first design sounds intriguing. How intuitive is the learning curve for new developers?
Nikolas Dimitroulakis
@memphys_sk we designed it in a way to make sure that it becomes super easy for a developer to get started.
Samuel
@memphys_sk It really is cool Stefans! :) We have a Fusion Doc, for every workspace that has step by step instructions on how you can use different features of Fusion. This is another great power of Fusion Docs, that you can use them not only to build, test and document your APIs .But you can actually start preparing step by step tutorials for your customers or users to use your APIs and execute them right there on the Fusion Doc.. You should give it a try!
Kabir Singh Shekhawat
Is this a Postman replacement? Personally I'm not a fan of the Postman UI and would love something better. That said, how can a team with a large number of APIs documented on Postman move them over to Fusion and what value does the tool itself provide? I think Fusion looks like the Notion for APIs but I'm not sure if its objectively better than Postman (in terms of features). I will give it a shot though!
Akanksha Bhasin
That's really interesting! Congratulations ApyHub team! ✨🙌🚀
Shrishty Pandey
Congrats on the launch! This looks like a promising product.
Thet Lin Thu
Fusion makes API testing more efficient. Congrats on the launch, Samuel!
Samuel
@thetlinthu indeed Thet. Fusion should save upto 60% of the time in creating and maintaining API test cases for QA teams.
Edy
Our vision of a next-generation API client is one where you don't need to separate design, documentation, and testing anymore. Using a real-time collaborative document editor, you'll be able to write the documentation and run the actual API requests from the same page, plus so much more. You'll be able to make it as simple as you want or as feature-rich as you want. We're looking forward to hearing what others think!
Hakim Zerhouni
How does Fusion handle version control and documentation for APIs? Excited to see how it enhances our workflow!
Samuel
@hakz We use an algorithm that handles concurrent updates and resolving any conflicts that might arise. And we maintain a version history so that you can always go back into your version history and restore the API test / doc / design to a previous version. Its more like google docs in that regard, the version management rather than a much more stricter git-type of commits.
Tony Han
This is such a beautiful product. Looks pretty easy to go through the entire lifecycle of API development and testing. I especially like how ApyHub has a very similar user interface as Notion so it’s so intuitive to get started. Congrats @samuelkaluvuri and team!
Nikolas Dimitroulakis
@tonyhanded indeed that was the intention! Looking forward to hear more from you once you get to use it more.
Samuel
@tonyhanded Thanks Tony! Appreciate your thoughts!
