API Platform: From Rest & GraphQL APIs to state-of-the-art standards in seconds

June 30, 2026

What this session covers

API Platform is a totally open-source, out-of-the-box framework for making APIs that follow all the Web’s best practices (standards, RFCs…) since its release, in 2015.

In this talk, we’ll see how in a matter of seconds, thanks to the contributions of around 1,000 developers since the framework was created, we can easily have a robust API with auto-generated documentation, via the Swagger UI, whether for a REST or GraphQL API.

Through concrete examples and feedback, we’ll explore how to contribute to API Platform and use it in your projects, whatever the complexity of your APIs. We’ll look at extending automatic documentation, adding custom filters, and integrating your own custom data sources.
