What API Architect is
API Architect is a web product for describing software architecture, business rules, APIs, and AI governance in a shared executable DSL. Its versioned language models systems, containers, and flows, while bringing DTOs, compliance rules, and operational constraints together. The product generates APIs aligned with business needs, governance, and standards. Its Enterprise DSL is presented as a declarative language covering architecture, business, APIs, rules, AI, governance, and compliance. AI systems can use the DSL as an internal model to generate APIs that follow business rules and governance boundaries. An example defines a resource field with a market-specific maximum length and a GET route that returns that resource. Listed use cases span banking and insurance, retail and e-commerce, industry and energy, and SaaS or software publishers. The Free plan costs nothing for one active project and community support. Starter is €29 a month for two active projects, standard API analytics, and support in 48h. Pro costs €79 a month for ten active projects, advanced observability, priority support 7/7, and CRM and payment integrations.
