Apiark

ApiArk setup: connect an existing HTTP API, choose the public path, then test the curl printed after Publish. Which step blocks you? Free: up to 10 APIs; 1,000 requests/key/API/24h. HTTP only; macOS/Linux CLI. — Stéphane

Current ApiArk scope: HTTP APIs, macOS/Linux CLI. No supported Windows CLI or gateway OAuth flow. Free: up to 10 APIs; 1,000 requests/key/API/24h. Older feature posts aren’t the current spec. — Stéphane

I built ApiArk for HTTP APIs with outside callers. What would you pay for managed HTTPS, key checks, a rate limit and logs? Free: up to 10 APIs; 1,000 requests/key/API/24h. HTTP only; macOS/Linux CLI. — Stéphane

I built ApiArk: HTTPS, key checks, a rate limit and logs for an API you already run. Free: up to 10 APIs; 1,000 requests/key/API/24h. HTTP only; macOS/Linux CLI. What API needs outside callers? — Stéphane

Building something with AI agents that needs to reach a local or internal API? I'm looking for devs to try apiark and tell me where it breaks. Reply or DM. apiark.io

New: give AI agents (Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, Pi) scoped access to your API without touching backend code. Pick allowed endpoints in the dashboard. Unauthorized actions (like DELETE) are rejected at the edge with 403. One-click MCP URL & bearer token. apiark.io

Every route gets key auth by default. Callers send an apikey header. Anything without a valid key gets rejected at the gateway, before it reaches your backend. Generate, rotate, revoke from the dashboard.

Getting a local API onto a public HTTPS URL, with auth and rate limits already on: 1. curl the CLI binary 2. apigateway --token ark_... --port 3000 3. hand out the key, watch requests in the dashboard That's the whole flow.

ApiArk is out of the pre-launch beta program and just live: sign up, get a token, point the CLI at your API. Free plan: 1 project, 1000 requests a day, no card. apiark.io

We are live on Microlaunch

Don’t write docs after the fact. Write the spec, let everything else follow. OpenAPI is the truth. Code, docs, and tests all agree.

Your service failed. Client retries instantly. Then again. And again. And again. Eventually: meltdown. That’s why APIARK adds circuit breakers and retry backoff. Built into the gateway. Not your app.

Pick your gateway 🍏 macOS 🪟 Windows 🐧 Linux Expose from anywhere, securely.

See what’s going wrong before your users do. Realtime metrics. Error patterns. The APIARK is your observability layer.

My microservice: simple business logic My infra: nginx + envoy + ratelimiter + custom auth + cert manager Just to test one POST route 💀 Now? Just one CLI: `apigateway --port=`

Let your API handle logic. Let the gateway handle: 🛡️ Auth 🚦 Throttling 📉 Monitoring 🔁 Retry policies APIARK = less YAML, more control.

See methods, latency, origin per request. Debug with full context. Your logs aren’t noise. They’re signals.

Expose with TLS. Protect with OAuth2 or API keys. Secure by default, not as an afterthought. Your dev tools should respect your data.

An API gateway is your backend’s traffic cop 🚦 It throttles abusive clients, stops spikes, and lets your service *breathe*. Rate limits? Built-in with APIARK.

What route is live? Which key has access? How many requests hit today? Check your gateway at a glance.

Just testing a new route? Skip the deploy. Expose it with: > ./apigateway --port=4000 Now you're live. And safe.

Spec first. Code later. OpenAPI saves time, bugs, and DMs. > /docs ≠ optional

Who deployed? Which route broke? What changed? Your gateway knows 👀. And remembers.

Retry loops without limits = meltdown 🔥 With APIARK, your gateway can enforce: ✅ Circuit breakers ✅ Retry backoff ✅ Traffic control Your API stays responsive. Even when clients get... impatient.

Every deploy eats time. Every rollback steals morale. Expose your local API for testing. No CI/CD needed. > apigateway --port=3000

🧪 When you test your backend API, you usually: A) Push to staging B) Use tunnels (ngrok, etc) C) Build custom infra D) Cry in localhost Comment below 👇

Not all APIs are meant to go live. Use APIARK to expose internal dev APIs Secure, traceable, logged. No surprises.

Your backend API doesn’t need to be public. APIARK becomes the surface. 📍Clients talk to us 📍We proxy to you 📍We add auth, limits & TLS 📍You stay safe Like having your own lightweight gateway (WAF & more features are coming...)

Ever wonder how close you are to rate limit burnout? APIARK tracks it live. 📊 See it in the dashboard

Progress isn't always MRR. Sometimes it’s exposing your local API without deploying a thing and seeing the first request hit logs. That counts. Ship anyway. ⚡️

Confession: I once deployed a full backend just to test one webhook.🤐 Never again. Now I just tunnel it. With logging. With auth. 60s. Done.

"Just write a few lines of YAML..." 4 hours later: rateLimit: enabled: true rules: - path: /api/v1 limit: 100 period: 1m burst: 20 punish: 🔥 🧘 APIARK: Zero YAML. Zero therapy.

> ./apigateway --token=<your-token> --port 3000 That’s it. API is live. Secured. Logged. No dashboard needed, but it’s there if you want it.

What’s hitting your API? With APIARK, you don’t have to guess. 📍 IPs 📍 Methods 📍 Status codes 📍 Latency Track every request. Instantly.
