API — OpenAPI-First (3.1 as single source of truth)

Machine-readable contract that drives server stubs, client SDKs, docs, mocks, and contract tests from ONE file. Pairs with api-rest-conventions.md (the HTTP rules the spec encodes) and api-versioning-pagination-ratelimit.md (versioning + pagination schemas).

When to include

  • Any REST API with ≥2 consumers (web + mobile, public + partner, multiple internal services).
  • API that must publish SDKs in >1 language — spec-driven codegen beats hand-written clients per language.
  • Regulated API (finance / health) where the contract must be reviewable and diff-able as a single artefact.

What it declares

  • OpenAPI 3.1.0 — the 2021+ version that is a strict superset of JSON Schema 2020-12. Use 3.1 unless a specific tool pins you to 3.0.x; 2.0 (Swagger) is legacy and missing oneOf/anyOf/nullable nuances.
  • Single file, single source of truth: openapi.yaml (or .json) committed at repo root or under api/. ALL of the following are GENERATED, never hand-written:
    • Server routing stubs / request validators (codegen for your stack).
    • Typed client SDKs (TS, Swift, Kotlin, Python, Rust, Go).
    • Human docs site (Swagger UI / Redoc / Scalar / Stoplight Elements).
    • Mock server (Prism, mswjs, Stoplight) for consumer tests before the backend exists.
    • Contract tests (Schemathesis, Dredd, Pact broker feed).
  • Structure: info, servers (per environment — prod, staging, sandbox), paths (one entry per resource/action pair), components.schemas (reusable types), components.securitySchemes (bearer / OAuth2 / API-key), components.parameters (shared query params like page, cursor, limit), components.responses (problem+json 400 / 401 / 403 / 404 / 409 / 422 / 429 / 500 reused by $ref), tags (grouping for docs).
  • Schemas ARE types: every $ref resolves to components/schemas/*; no anonymous objects inline inside responses. This makes the codegen output readable and re-usable.
  • Error model is shared: define Problem schema once (RFC 9457 shape) and $ref it from every 4xx/5xx response. Keeps the error contract identical across 120 endpoints.
  • Examples are typed: every operation has ≥1 request example + ≥1 response example. Examples flow into Redoc docs, mock server responses, and SDK fixtures. Invalid examples break CI — treat them as test data.
  • Tooling pick — ONE per job:
    • Lint: Spectral (.spectral.yaml with a ruleset — Google/Microsoft API guidelines ship starter rulesets).
    • Diff / breaking-change gate: oasdiff or openapi-diff in CI — PR fails on a breaking change unless breaking: approved label.
    • Codegen: openapi-generator (multi-language, mature; prefer *-axios, *-nullable templates for TS); orval for TS + React Query / SWR first-class; oapi-codegen for Go; progenitor for Rust.
    • Docs: Redoc (read-only, pretty), Swagger UI (interactive), Scalar (modern, fast), Stoplight Elements (embeddable React component). Pick one — documented decision in repo.
  • Governance: openapi.yaml change = PR review like code. No drift between spec and server: CI runs the generated server stubs AND contract tests against the running app.
  • [UNVERIFIED] claims — forbidden: never quote an OpenAPI feature without checking the 3.1 spec. discriminator, oneOf, nullable (removed — use type: [string, "null"]) are easy to get wrong; cite spec link on debate.
