Why the DevPortal Awards?

We wanted to create an opportunity to showcase innovative leaders and their developer portals in the API and interface space. The DevPortal Awards is an opportunity to celebrate the work that goes into developer portals that are not only targeted to developers but also aligned to business needs and operable by its maintainers.

The DevPortal Awards seeks to recognize the best solutions available today and push the boundaries of what we believe to be the key components of a developer portal for tomorrow.

We had 10 nominees for the Best Public API of 2018 award, we received a ton of votes from the community, and now we’re happy to announce that the winner of the Best Public API of 2018 competition is RingCentral!

The RingCentral API enables multi-faceted business communication abilities, including voice, SMS, messaging, meetings, and fax. Their developer friendly program features extensive docs, sample apps, and a wide SDK library.

Here are some motivations from the communities votes:

  • All around fantastic engineering and ease of use
  • Ability to implement SMS into my website in 20 minutes! It just works.
  • 99.99 reliability
  • It allows communications from within a bunch of apps that Small Businesses and Enterprises use on a regular basis (like Google apps, Microsoft cloud apps, SalesForce, etc.). And they keep improving and adding more apps to their ecosystem.
