Workato Developer API Portal
workato.com
What it is
Workato Developer API Portal is a hosted portal where administrators publish API documentation, manage client access, and control authentication. Clients can browse assigned API collections, discover others, request access, inspect endpoint methods and schemas, view example requests and responses, and test endpoints. They can create and manage API keys; administrators can optionally set allowed or blocked IP addresses for those keys. Authentication supports email magic links or Workato Identity, including an organization's identity provider. Administrators can configure branding and the portal URL, use a custom domain, assign collections, and apply optional rate limits or usage quotas. Once published, the portal stays live and cannot be taken offline. Workato's API management platform also supports API proxies and recipe-based endpoints, with access controls, request monitoring, and quotas. Pricing is described as on request. The listed Free plan costs nothing and includes 50K one-time credits, API management, and 10,000+ app and system integrations. Pro costs $100 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom and requires an inquiry.
