Try it out at \u003chttps://recipeui.com\u003e.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=74274\u0026key=user_uploads/1139854/36a01c9b-6c4c-4b88-a87d-a9575cf0bd33)\n\nJeane built the first version of this at Robinhood when he saw his colleagues struggle to use and test internal APIs. It went viral and was adopted by near 100% of the engineering org, QA, and support teams, saving countless hours in testing.\n\n**Problem ❌**\n\nWe rarely hear: “Wow, this API was easy to run.”\n\nInstead you have..\n\n* **Complex onboarding:** Each teammate onboards onto an API differently. Some struggle with auth, some with params.\n* **Designed for developers only:** API tools are not built to be easily used by the whole team. Non-engineering teams need access to API tooling as well like QA, support, and product.\n* **Poor documentation:** Documentation is scattered across code, slack, and wikis. You shouldn't need a meeting just to figure out how an API works.\n\n**Solution ✅**\n\nEnable anyone to test APIs in seconds with a click of a button. \n\n* **Easy setup:** Quickly use new APIs with user-friendly forms for parameter input. \n* **Designed for collaboration:** Create and share Recipes (example API use cases) that run without needing any authentication.\n* **Add APIs in minutes:** Just import your YAML files and we’ll auto convert them into documented APIs for anyone to test.\n\nWatch our [demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce9g7N1V76U):\n\n**Our Asks:**\n\n📢 Book a demo to see how RecipeUI can work for your team: \u003chttps://calendly.com/jeane-nfi/30min\u003e\n\n🌟 Star our GitHub: \u003chttps://github.com/RecipeUI/RecipeUI\u003e\n\n🚀 Test out some APIs on RecipeUI.
