Advice on LiveFyre, Postman, RAML

ReviewonPostmanPostman

I use Postman because of the ease of team-management, using workspaces and teams, runner, collections, environment variables, test-scripts (post execution), variable management (pre and post execution), folders (inside collections, for better management of APIs), newman, easy-ci-integration (and probably a few more things that I am not able to recall right now).

Needs advice

From a StackShare Community member: "I just started working for a start-up and we are in desperate need of better documentation for our API. Currently our API docs is in a README.md file. We are evaluating Postman and Swagger UI. Since there are many options and I was wondering what other StackSharers would recommend?"

Decided

Postman supports automation and organization in a way that Insomnia just doesn't. Admittedly, Insomnia makes it slightly easy to query the data that you get back (in a very MongoDB-esque query language) but Postman sets you up to develop the code that you would use in development/testing right in the editor.

RAML

Livefyre’s real-time apps get your audience talking and turn your site into the hub for your community. Bloggers, brands and the largest publishers in the world use Livefyre to engage their users and curate live content from around the social web.

It is the only complete API development environment, used by nearly five million developers and more than 100,000 companies worldwide.

RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) makes it easy to manage the whole API lifecycle from design to sharing. It's concise - you only write what you need to define - and reusable. It is machine readable API design that is actually human friendly.

SocialSync- With Livefyre SocialSync, the conversation happening on Facebook and Twitter automatically syncs directly to your content, where it belongs.;Social Sign In- Users have the option to sign in with multiple social networks to put a face to their name and comments.;Friend Tagging- Getting your friends in on the conversation is as simple as typing the “@” sign. Easily invite Facebook and Twitter friends to join the conversation right from the comment box.;Comment Sharing- With one click, users can easily share comments with their friends on other social networks including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.;Comment Liking- Livefyre even shows the avatars of every user who’s liked a comment.;Rich Text Editor- bold italics, or create a bulleted list to drive home your argument.;LinkBack- LinkBack encourages community interaction by letting other Livefyre bloggers display a link to their latest post when they leave a comment.;Live Listeners- lets readers know exactly how many people are on the current page or have followed the conversation, giving them more incentive to leave a thoughtful response.;Comment Notifiers- The widget shows you who is participating in the conversation and what they are saying as it happens, all without losing your place on the page;Media Embedding- Livefyre Comments 3 enhances your media embedding options so that you can share photos from Flickr and Instagram, play videos from YouTube and Vimeo, flip-through slide decks on SlideShare, listen to songs from SoundCloud and Spotify, geek-out on animated gifs from Myspace, and even feature Wikipedia articles directly in the conversation stream.;Comment Editing- Comment Editing allows users to edit their own comments within a specific time frame so that they can fix their spelling mistakes without changing the context of the following comment stream. Site admins can make edits to all comments as well.;User Profiles- Our user bios allow community members to share a bit about themselves and the topics they care about, while also showing the conversations where they have left comments.;Spam Protection- thanks to real-time machine-learning protection your comments are basically spam-free.;Community Flagging- Multiple admin flagging options give you more insight into the quality of the conversation, and community members can leave you a note to provide further explanation.;Leave Comment Notes- Admins can communicate with other moderators on your site to follow-up with a particular commenter, or visit their blog to leave a comment.;Multiple Moderators- Designate as many moderators as you'd like—editors, guest authors, community managers—and kick it up a notch by managing their access levels too.;Ban & Whitelist Users- Streamline moderation by allowing a core group of readers to comment on your site without passing through the moderation process with Whitelists. You can also deal with trolls and flamers quickly and efficiently by designating them as banned users - removing them and their comments from your community.;Profanity Lists- Every comment is processed through Livefyre’s real-time profanity filters, even the words you didn’t even know existed get nixed before they hit the page.;User Activity- Keep track of the most active participants in your community and see what conversations they are taking part in on other Livefyre blogs.;Moderation and Conversation Reports- Get a view of your most active users and conversations at a glance. Organize your reports by date range and easily track which conversations need your attention.
Compact layout;HTTP requests with file upload support;Formatted API responses for JSON and XML;Image previews;Request history;Basic Auth, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, and other common auth helpers;Autocomplete for URL and header values;Key/value editors for adding parameters or header values. Works for URL parameters too.;Use environment variables to easily shift between settings. Great for testing production, staging or local setups.;Keyboard shortcuts to maximize your productivity;Automatically generated web documentation;Mock servers hosted on Postman’s cloud;API monitoring run from Postman cloud
Create and pull in namespaced, reusable libraries, containing data types; Annotations let you add vendor specific functionality without compromising your spec; Traits and resource Types let you take advantage of code reuse and design patterns; Easily define resources and methods then add as much detail as you want
