A developer portal’s user experience depends on many elements: visual testing, inclusivity, infrastructure accessibility, and interactive documentation are just a few examples of the many solutions that can help improve it. Every year, DevPortal Awards seeks the most outstanding solutions with the help of experienced jurors. What is the state-of-the-art in 2022, and what elements shouldn’t become a standard since they make the workflow less seamless?

The last few months have been busy, as eleven jurors devoted many hours to carefully ensure a fair evaluation for all 43 nominees and highlight 2022’s most outstanding API developer portal solutions. Their expertise in API programs, developer portals, and API documentation has helped to point out best practices and what it would be better to say farewell to.

“In my 7th session with the Devportal Awards, I strongly resonate with the user expectations for a decluttered, cognitively accessible, multimodal experience, with all information ready to be served just at the asking. Clear information architecture, effective search, and frictionless onboarding should be table stakes by now. With AI tools, these can be spectacularly augmented, as long as the extensive foundation is there.”
