OpenAPI Insights

What is OpenAPI?

OpenAPI is a specification for building API documentation and client SDKs from a REST API description. It provides a standard, language-agnostic interface allowing both humans and computers to discover and understand the capabilities of a service without requiring access to source code, additional documentation, or network traffic inspection. OpenAPI is commonly used for designing, building, documenting, and consuming RESTful APIs.
