Build APIs You Wont Hate 2: This Time Its Serious

Roughly 80% of the internet is roughly built APIs, held together with enough duct-tape to choke all the hamsters powering it. Let's learn how to build them properly.

This was an absolute beast to write, a complete guide to OpenAPI v3.1!

Use this guide instead of the Swagger.io guide which was stuck on OpenAPI v3.0, and instead of trying to wrap your brain around the specification which isn’t intended to be user documentation.

Great visualisation for the efficiency of cursor based pagination from @jessicamauerhan at #ipc #webinale. Did you know that limit-offset pagination has to scan the whole database to figure out what comes next?

That's a long time if you're on the last page of thousands of results. But it doesn't have to be that way - investigate adding cursors to your data sets. With appropriate indices, the time required is constant.

API Podcast Alert!

Learn all about Redocly the handy OpenAPI documentation tool with a Swiss army CLI that does everything (even linting!), and a bit more about the plan for OpenAPI v4 (a.k.a Moonwalk).

Good natter in general with @lornajane who I always love catching up with.

If you work with APIs and haven’t dug into OpenAPI yet, here’s a full blown introduction to get you started from absolutely zero context. Written by me, for the excellent folks at @httptoolkit.

Deprecating a package with 200,000 installs a week feels funny, but I've been waiting for a chance to bin off swagger-cli for ages. It's not being maintained (some upstream dependencies are which helps) but even the name is out of date. Thankfully the #Redocly CLI does everything it did, but better, so I recommend you go use that.

More deprecations of old #OpenAPI tooling to come as I find more viable modern alternatives.

#APIDesign #APIDevelopment #OpenSource

Woah, I'm reviewing #Redocly CLI and I just noticed the amazing split command!

$ redocly split api/openapi.yaml --outDir output/

This will neatly split a sprawling messy #OpenAPI description into multiple documents using $ref, reducing duplication, making it easier to work with.
