Stoplight was also recognized as a Momentum Leader in the API Design category. Momentum Leaders highlight “each product’s Momentum score on the vertical axis and the product’s Satisfaction score on the horizontal axis. These scores are based on G2’s Satisfaction and Momentum algorithms.”

API Design is the planning and architectural decisions you make when building an API, leading to a better user experience. Design maturity at an organization allows internal and external developers to more quickly and easily consume and use that organization’s APIs.
