APIs are indispensible
Customer-facing and internal APIs have become
the most common way to integrate the

It starts with design
Designing APIs with Swagger and
OpenAPI is a hands-on primer to
properly designing and describing
your APIs using the most widely-
adopted standard.
In it, you’ll build upon progressively-
enhanced examples as you learn to
describe an API and then extend it in
the kind of scenarios you’d
encounter in the real world.

4.
In this thorough guide, you’ll
practice skills for assessing
business needs, gathering
requirements, and working
with a cross-functional team.
As you go, you’ll use the
popular Open Source tools to
define APIs, generate
documentation, and build
other developer-friendly
components like mocks, server
stubs, and client SDKs.
