OpenAPI: Beginner to Guru

via Udemy

Overview

Master OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) to Create Specifications for Your APIs

What you'll learn:
  • Learn to define APIs using OpenAPI Specifications
  • Create awesome API Documentation with Swagger UI
  • Edit OpenAPI Specifications in Swagger Hub

OpenAPI3.0 is the leading tool for the documentation of APIs.

Formerly known as Swagger, OpenAPIhas a long and established history. In 2010, Swagger started as an open source specification for designing and documenting RESTful APIs.

In 2015, the Swagger project was acquired by SmartBear Software. The Swagger Specification was donated to the Linux foundation and renamed the OpenAPI.

The OpenAPIspecification is the cornerstone of a thriving open source community. Simply perform a search for OpenAPItools and you will find projects for converters, documentation, validators, editors, mock servers, testing tools and much much more!

From the OpenAPIspecification, you can generate client side source code for over 50 languages. You can generate server side code for over 40 different languages.

All of these open source contributes start with the OpenAPIspecification, which we explore in depth in this course.

You start off the course with learning about what is an API, a review of the HTTPprotocol and how it is used in respect to RESTFul APIs.

Then we start looking at OpenAPIand how it applies to documenting RESTFul APIs.

We then start writing an OpenAPIspecification using Swagger Hub.

Swagger Hub is a free, easy to use on-line editor for Swagger and OpenAPIspecifications.

You will get to create a complete OpenAPIspecification for a RESTful web service.

Step by step, you learn how to:

  • Edit a OpenAPIspecification in Swagger Hub

  • Define a OpenAPIspecification in YAML

  • Add developer information

  • Add server information

  • Define an APIpath

  • Define an APIoperation

  • Create robust objects with JSONschema constraints

  • Improve the quality of your specification with re-useable components.

  • Define query parameters

  • Define path parameters

  • Define GET, PUT, POST, and DELETEoperations

  • Create APIsecurity schemes

  • Generate source code with OpenAPICode Gen

  • Use ReDoc to generate robust API documentation

  • Use Apache Maven to generate code with OpenAPI Code Gen

This course has numerous assignments and hands on examples to get you comfortable writing OpenAPIspecifications.
