OpenAPI documentation

Quickstart

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

Benefit	Description
Interactive documentation	The OpenAPI specification enables the generation of interactive documentation, allowing developers to explore and test API endpoints directly through the browser.
Code generation	Developers can leverage the specification to automatically generate client libraries and server stubs in various programming languages, significantly reducing implementation time.
Validation	API requests and responses can be automatically validated against the specification, ensuring data integrity and reducing debugging time.
Discoverability	The specification clearly outlines all available resources, operations, parameters, and data models, making it easier to understand the full capabilities of the API.
Standardization	Following the OpenAPI 3.x standard ensures that the API adheres to industry best practices for REST API design and implementation.
