Very cool. We're facing this common problem where endpoint consumers go query-happy with GraphQL seeing as it is so easy to pull a large amount of data (or trigger a large number o…

All the more motivation for API Providers to publish their specifications so that IDE integrations like this are effective!

I still lean heavily on the framework to help with the API aspects (i.e. Rails, Sinatra, Express, Flask ...). I now consistently (at least in my mind) document the APIs via Open AP…

Do you think that we need to standardize on extensions? The blog post makes it clear that there is room to add additional information to the OAS document ... the question would be …

For Web APIs OpenAPI Specification has been a great resource for internal and external projects. With viewers like https://github.com/Rebilly/ReDoc/ it gets pretty easy to take the…

There are many great options in the list but with the state of industry and the large number of APIs coming out each year Google is still a great place to start! Curious if folks p…

Definitely there are many benefits to having API specifications available (SDK generation, testing, etc.) especially if they can come from the providers as an alternate from human …

You blew my mind a little bit there ... so you're introducing the notion of a super light-weight subscription / payment system to sidecar the API specification itself? This somethi…

IvanGoncharov, you've done much work in this space in trying to innovate around Web APIs (thanks for that!). I think realityking nailed it in terms of the API community needing to …

First, it is too bad that you spent weeks and probably didn't find the "right" solution (because it doesn't seem to exist). Second, I like your enthusiasm for specs from code ... t…

Spidler, what you show is nice, to the point documentation for human consumption. The API specification mentioned is related to things like OpenAPI Specification ( http://swagger.i…

A possible reason is the fear of losing intellectual property. Providing a machine readable format makes duplication much easier (although you'd still have to deal with the impleme…
