Rigorous API design guidelines
AEPs are built on proven lessons from industry veterans at Google, Microsoft, Roblox, IBM (and others!) plus major contributors to HTTP and IETF specifications.
Learn from their experience in crafting APIs that are easy to use, maintain, and evolve.
We have the clients
APIs that conform to the AEPs can take advantage of our Terraform provider, UI, CLI, and MCP server with zero-configuration. The AEPs were designed with a wide variety of clients in mind, not just curl.
An Open Standard
In addition to providing API design guidance, the AEPs also publish versioned editions. Tooling maintained by this project can be used with any API that conforms to these editions.
