Introduction of Yappes — Travel API Marketplace & Discovery Platform

Sorry we took some time for our next blog post in the “Necessity of Open Travel API Platform” series, as we got occupied with our Product development. Let us quickly get on to our today’s topic “Introduction of Yappes”.
In our previous blog post, we have discussed in detailed about the necessity of an Open Platform completely focusing on Travel APIs Discovery and the ways it is consumed by the users. In this blog post we will see in detail about “Yappes” and how it deals to solve the issues mentioned in our “previous blog”.
Yappes is a Travel API Marketplace and Discovery platform aims at providing an Open Platform for Travel APIs to be Published, Discovered, Sandboxed and supported by processes to handle the Deal Negotiations and Licensing.
One of the major issue is finding the right Travel related APIs, Yappes solves this by providing the comprehensive search of the APIs based on the Travel services offered by them like hotels, accommodation, airlines, itinerary, etc. These service level segregation enables the API consumers to discover the right API.
The consumers are provided with the detailed documentation, pricing and other important details of the Travel API and also they can tryout the APIs directly in our platform which makes it a one stop shop for the Travel APIs.
Our platform is equipped with the Private Deal Negotiation room, where the interested API Consumer and API Provider can negotiate the Pricing and license related to the APIs using the real-time chat. The whole process is structured which enables the API provider to start or stop the subscription / deals at any time.
Yappes helps the API provider to handle their APIs in our platform by making sure all details are captured when on-boarding the API. Yappes support Swagger spec APIs upload for an easy and fast on-boarding of APIs. API Provider can also define multiple and flexible pricing options for their APIs. Yappes enables on-the-fly private pricing specific to a consumer based on their deal negotiations.
Yappes platform is also supported with many other features like low-level API Management, analytics, grouping, collaboration and security for the APIs to be transacted through our platform.
Thus our Yappes platform with the Travel domain as its core, helps users to search efficiently, identify the most appropriate Travel APIs and effectively use the Travel APIs in an easy to use interface.
Yappes vision is to be a largest aggregator of Travel related APIs and be the Technology anchor in the Travel ecosystem providing the most efficient & effective platform for APIs.
Since our release of public beta, We are getting good response and happy that our platform is adding value to the Travel Technology ecosystem.
This is the end of our blog series “Necessity of Open Travel API Platform”. In future, we will be taking more about the platform features and also our learning’s in terms of Travel APIs & our platform statistics.
