FAQ

Developer page design, answered

The questions people ask before building a developer portal or an API page, answered from 52 real ones.

What should a developer page include?

01

Links out, first. Nearly nine in ten link to a quickstart and to the API reference, and about as many link to a developer community. Only about a quarter put runnable code on the page itself.

Which languages should a developer page cover?

02

Python is the language named most often, on about four in ten developer pages. Node.js, Java and .NET follow, each on a fifth to a quarter. About half list their SDKs by language.

Should a developer page say there is a free tier?

03

About a third say a developer can start for free. Only about one in nine offer a sandbox to test in, which makes it one of the rarest moves on the type.

Should a developer page link to a changelog and a status page?

04

A bit over half link to a changelog and a bit under half to a status page. Both tell an engineer the product is still maintained.

What should an API page say?

05

What the API can do, on about four in five, and how authentication works, on about two in three. About one in eleven state a price or a rate limit, and none of them commit to an uptime figure or a versioning policy.
