  • API design scoring and recommendations to improve consistency, documentation, security, usability, and performance.

Quick Start

Provide an OpenAPI/Swagger document to begin automated review and scoring.

Frequently Asked Questions about api-design-reviewer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my OpenAPI spec for breaking changes before version upgrades?▼

Detect breaking changes in OpenAPI specs by comparing API versions to identify removals, modifications, or stricter requirements. This automated review identifies integration risks during version upgrades and external audits.

What is REST API linting and how does it improve API design?▼

REST API linting analyzes resource naming, HTTP methods, URL structures, and error responses for conformity to REST conventions. It generates a design scorecard with recommendations to improve API consistency, security, and usability.

How do I validate a Swagger document against REST conventions?▼

Validate Swagger documents by providing the OpenAPI spec for automated review. The analysis checks OpenAPI correctness, applies linting rules, and assesses design quality to ensure change-resilient patterns.

Can I use an API design scorecard for external API audits?▼

Yes, API design scorecards support external audits by evaluating consistency, documentation, security, usability, and performance. Apply the scorecard assessment to review third-party API designs and identify areas for improvement.

Does the API review process work without additional dependencies or components?▼

Yes, the API review process requires no external dependencies or components. Simply provide an OpenAPI or Swagger document to initiate the automated linting, breaking-change detection, and scorecard assessment.

When do I need to run a breaking-change detection analysis on my API?▼

Run breaking-change detection during development, version upgrades, or external API audits. The analysis compares API versions to identify removals, modifications, or stricter requirements that could break existing integrations.
