Strong second launch from the Apidog team! The IntelliJ IDEA integration and automatic endpoint detection shows deep understanding of developer workflows.
Impressive feature set targeting key pain points:
Automatic Java/Kotlin endpoint detection
One-click request testing
OpenAPI spec generation without Swagger annotations
Stripe-style doc generation
The 442 upvotes and 5/5 rating from 18 users shows you're really resonating with developers.
Really curious about:
What drove the decision to focus on IntelliJ IDEA first?
How are teams using the auto-generated docs?
Any surprising patterns in how the automatic detection is being used?
Quick questions:
How do you handle complex nested endpoints?
What's your approach to maintaining spec accuracy?
Any plans for other IDE integrations?
The engagement suggests developers are looking for more integrated API development tools. You're essentially creating an end-to-end API development environment within the IDE!
Keep streamlining the API workflow - you're making API development more efficient! 🔗⚡
Looking forward to seeing how Apidog evolves. This feels like a significant step in modernizing API development! 🚀
P.S. The "no Swagger annotations needed" approach could be a game-changer for teams with legacy codebases.

Java/Kotlin occupies a large share in the field of API development, and IntelliJ IDEA is an excellent Java/Kotlin IDE.
In order to ensure good performance, Apidog Fast Request only handles nesting depths of 10 levels by default. Of course, you can adjust this configuration.
We will decide whether to support other languages and frameworks based on user feedback, and the IDE is related to them.
Automated API documentation and easy sharing? This is truly innovative. This is exactly what I need ! Impressive. Congrats on the launch !🎉

what's "Swagger annotations" 🤔
Apidog
@sentry_co If Java developers want to generate API Specifications based on code, they need to add Swagger Annotations in the code to describe each endpoint. Please refer to: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki/annotations But with Apidog Fast Request, they don’t have to add any extra code to their source code. This greatly improves efficiency and makes the code cleaner and easier to read.
