Hey hunters, One thing I learned building Algolia is that it is hard to create a great API experience. I'm super excited to see a team providing everything you need so you don't have to do everything yourself. You should try them out!

@dessaigne Thanks so much for hunting us Nicolas

Hey everybody! 👋 Excited to share Blobr with you all today! APIs are everywhere but still, the experience to consume them can be very hazardous. The reason is simple. It is a long process for API providers which requires substantial and continuous effort to build relevant APIs and a portal to expose them to partners and customers. Most companies just share an API reference hoping that final users will find what they are looking for. Frustrated by the experience, we thought we could help any company share their APIs in a better way. We came with a different approach with Blobr. You can start sharing your APIs as products your way with our no-code solution. You can create API products from any REST API. You decide for instance at a granular level which data or endpoint can be shared. Then, you can add your own business conditions, limits and even monetization rules if you wish. Once done, you decide to whom your API products are being exposed to. Blobr will manage access from users in real time and give you the power to monitor usage. Use cases for Blobr: ✅ API first startups using Blobr to be quickly operational with a branded portal and monetization included. ✅ SaaS companies sharing their API through their own branded portal. ✅ Scale-ups reusing their internal APIs to share them with selected partners. They are using Blobr as a filtering engine and portal. ✅ Consultants using no code tools like Bubble or Airtable and sharing API accesses to third parties. A branded portal like Blobr increases API adoption by 30% and user satisfaction as a consequence. Blobr is for any company sharing APIs with partners or customers. From side projects, startups, scale-ups to larger companies, it is the API portal to start and accompany your growth. We have a free plan up to 100k API calls per month managed through Blobr. Special for PH: 30% launch week discount. We'd love for you to check it out and tell us what you think. I'll be here answering any questions or comments!

Blobr is such a smart product: I've followed Alexandre and his team from day 1 and it's been inspiring seeing them execute! API products are already table stakes yet customer experience is overlooked — Blobr fixes that. Congrats on the launch today ✨
Alexandre Airvault
@widawskij Thanks a lot for your kind message. You are the one inspiring us to build a great product for product people.

Hey, That's the first time I am really active on Product Hunt. I joined Blobr in March as a front-end developer. What the team has been developing in a few months is just awesome. I am glad to work on improving the front-end of Blobr's platform everyday. We have great ambitions and I am excited to see more and more users test out our product. Always happy to gather some feedback about what as users you expect as a front-end. Best wishes!
Fatiha Aïd
That’s kind of what I was looking for to expose properly my API! are you planning to add more features for the branding customization? Anyway good work!
Alexandre Airvault
@fatiha_aid Definitely, you can customize the content of the API portal with a specific logo, custom domain name, colours to fit your brand. We are working hard to make it smooth to fit your brand design. Do you have something specific in mind?
Fatiha Aïd
Okay its sounds great. I was thinking about the possibility of adding cover images on the product catalog for example
Alexandre Airvault
@fatiha_aid Definitely something we can quickly improve this to make API products even nicer!
Carlo Thissen
This looks like an absolute winner. Immediate forward to our tech team...
Alexandre Airvault
@carlo_thissen Thanks a lot Carlo. Would love to get feedback from your tech team.
Pierre Kraus
Solving a huge pain point here. Keeping Blobr in mind for future projects. Congrats on the launch!
Youcef Belabed
Thank you @pierre_kraus! Don't hesitate to reach out to us in the chat if you need a demo :)
Youcef Belabed
@pierre_kraus Cool, can't wait to hear from them then!
Guilherme Moreira
How do you think about internationalizing the product? For Brazil, for example...
Alexandre Airvault
@gmoreiragp Sure you can use it as well in Brazil without any problem. Is there something specific you need linked to the country? We have georedundancy in all regions of the world at the moment with minimum latency. It includes as well Brazil.
Guilherme Moreira
@alexandre_airvault1 That was exactly my question. Availability for other countries. Is the service already in high availability? TKS
Alexandre Airvault
@gmoreiragp Yes, the service is already in high availability with 99% SLA

Having an API portal that looks good speaks for the quality of your company: you offer a service that can be trusted and that customers can build upon. Blobr offers friendly interface, monitors your performance and can even take care of your monetization. Basically, it puts your API on steroids 🔥🔥🔥!

I’ve been using blobr for months and it’s so crazy simple… to a point where you can create a paid product in a matter of minutes. This is the missing piece of saas I waited for years! Great job guys!
Alexandre Airvault
@jilijeanlouis We feel so blessed and happy to have you as an early user! Your feedback helped us to improve the product so much.
Samuel Berthe
Oh! Nice tool. I will give a try. Do you have a tutorial for building simple Zapier connectors with Blobr as billing proxy?
Alexandre Airvault
@samuelberthe Thanks a lot Samuel! We do not have a tutorial right now on this specifically but tutorials about how you can create your API products and share them on your API portal here: https://docs.blobr.io/ Looks like a great idea for us to make video tutorials about this :)
Maxime Fradin
Hello everyone, So excited we launched our Product on Product Hunt today. I joined Blobr at the beginning of the year and what the team has been able to create is just BIG. Our goal is to enable our clients to deliver the best API experiences ever. Because APIs are no longer about data attributes. APIs are about the experience of end-users. For this, our clients create their API portal that is ready in self-service in minutes. Excited about today!
Matthieu Moncoiffet
Cool that you can do everything in no-code. Great & refreshing for product managers like me!
Youcef Belabed
@matthieu_mft Glad you liked it, our mission is definitely to bring you back in the API game dear PMs! :)
