"USA TODAY is excited to engage developers building web and mobile applications using Mashery's API Explorer," said Erik Bursch, Director of Operations and Content Systems at USA TODAY. "Our API team has been fielding developer requests to make interactive API documentation available for our valuable content. We think API Explorer and I/O Docs are useful tools for developers to get started quickly making live API calls on the USA TODAY digital media platform."
Mashery API Explorer also features APIs contributed from Mashery's open source on GitHub, including LinkedIn, SimpleGeo, SendGrid and Spotify. Mashery API Explorer presents APIs in the popular Mashery I/O Docs format, which combines technical documentation and testing in one convenient place.
"With over 130,000 developers and 150 API providers in our ecosystem, Mashery is in a unique position to connect API providers and developers," said Delyn Simons, Mashery's Vice President of Developer Platform. "Developers already use explorers to get hands-on with APIs from Google, Facebook and YQL. Mashery API Explorer extends this concept as a one-stop shop for dozens of conveniently accessible APIs."
