About EndPointBlank
EndPointBlank is for companies whose API is a product. It lets you change that API without breaking the customers who depend on it, because it shows which versions are live, which are on their way out, and which of your customers are still calling them.
The problem it solves
Retiring an old API version is a routine job that rarely feels routine. The version
number lives in your code, the usage lives in your logs, the customer list lives in a
spreadsheet, and the warning goes out by hand in an email. Nobody can say for sure who still
calls /v1, so it stays up
for another year.
You cannot safely deprecate what you cannot see. EndPointBlank keeps each version's lifecycle, the usage of every client, and the credentials those clients authenticate with in one model, so "who is still on v1" is a lookup rather than a guess.
What it does
- Version lifecycle
- Every version is in development, current, deprecated, retiring on a date, or retired. Deprecating one is a decision you make in the portal, not a release you ship.
- Machine-to-machine auth
- Each client gets its own credentials per environment, and rotating a secret keeps the old one working through a grace window.
- Audit logs
- See which client called which endpoint version and what came back, searchable in one place.
- Error detection
- Spot the clients and endpoints that are failing before your customers tell you.
- Multi-tenant access
- Grant your customers' organizations access to the endpoints they need, without building another invite-and-permissions system.
- Client libraries
- Libraries for Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Java and Elixir register your endpoints and report usage, so your services stay focused on business logic.
Who makes it
Robert Lasch
Founder
Robert started EndPointBlank after running into the same problem again and again over many years of software development: nobody knew which services were calling an API, or which version of it they were on. Changing an API was very risky, because of the number of clients hitting the existing one.
Robert Lasch on LinkedInEndPointBlank is built and run by a small team of developers at Bengal Technologies LLC, a privately held company based in Trevor, Wisconsin.
