DreamFactory is an API management platform used to generate, secure, document, and extend APIs. The platform is used within a wide variety of sectors, including banking, auto manufacturing, online gaming, consulting, and government.

Perhaps best known for its API generation capabilities, the platform can generate APIs for 20 databases including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and MongoDB, among others. Generators are also available for Excel, AWS S3, email delivery providers, and IoT.

Authentication and security is another core feature. APIs can be authenticated using API keys, Active Directory, LDAP, OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, and Okta. A robust yet convenient set of role-based access controls (RBACs) allow administrators to easily create highly tailored API access rules.

DreamFactory's scripting engine supports PHP, Python (version 2 and 3) and NodeJS. Developers can use the engine to create entirely scripted APIs which incorporate third-party libraries and packages. The scripting engine can also be used to extend existing endpoints, allowing developers to implement API composition, apply data masking and hiding, response transformation, and more.

Recently added features include restricted administrators, API scheduling, API auditing, and API generation connectors for Snowflake, Hadoop, and Apache Hive.
