Know before
APIs break.
DependAPI maps the APIs your software relies on, detects contract changes, and shows exactly which teams need to act. We're onboarding early teams directly with the founders.
v2.4.0 → v2.5.0
required request property ‘currency’ added
response property ‘email’ became nullable
optional query parameter ‘status’ added
Built to fit your stack
THE DEPENDENCY LAYER
Every API relationship, finally visible.
API contracts tell you what changed. DependAPI adds the missing context: who owns it, who consumes it, and whether anyone needs to stop the release.
FROM CONTRACT TO CONTEXT
Changes move.
Context follows.
A deterministic pipeline turns each contract release into a durable, reviewable set of findings—not a wall of JSON.
Publish your contract
Add an OpenAPI 3 or Swagger 2.0 contract for every API your team owns.
Map dependencies
Track external APIs and connect codebases to establish who depends on what.
Ship with context
Every new release is compared, classified, and routed with the context teams need.

SHARED TERMINOLOGY
DependAPI glossary.
The core concepts used across the dashboard, analysis results, and read-only MCP tools.
- API contract
- A machine-readable OpenAPI or Swagger document describing an API’s operations, inputs, and outputs.
- Provider
- The team or service that owns and publishes an API.
- Consumer
- Software or a team that depends on an API.
- Baseline
- The contract version used as the reference for a comparison.
- Analysis run
- One comparison between a candidate contract and its baseline.
- Finding
- One classified contract difference produced by an analysis run.
- Breaking change
- A change expected to make a valid existing consumer request or response incompatible.
- Risky change
- A change that may affect consumers and requires review but is not deterministically breaking.
- Informational change
- A compatible change recorded for awareness.
- Dependency graph
- The relationships connecting APIs, providers, consumers, and repositories.
