# OpenAPI documentation

## OpenAPI specification details

The Semansys API plaform endpoints are described using OpenAPI 3.x, a widely recognized standard for defining REST APIs. This industry-standard specification format provides a comprehensive, machine-readable description of the API's capabilities, resources, and interaction patterns.

### Benefits of OpenAPI 3.x

### Accessing the OpenAPI Specification

The complete OpenAPI specification for the Semansys API platform is available in both JSON and YAML formats. Developers can:

* View the specification through the interactive documentation portal
* Download the specification files for local use
* Import the specification into API development tools like Postman, Insomnia, or SwaggerHub.

### Key Components in Our OpenAPI Specification

The Semansys API specification includes detailed information about:

* Authentication mechanisms and security requirements
* Available endpoints and their respective HTTP methods
* Request parameters, headers, and body schemas
* Response formats, status codes, and error handling
* Data models and their relationships
* Examples demonstrating correct usage patterns.

This comprehensive approach to API documentation ensures that developers have all the information needed to successfully integrate with the Semansys platform with minimal friction.
