REST API design review involves analyzing OpenAPI or Swagger specifications to verify adherence to best practices. It checks naming conventions, versioning, and error handling to identify inconsistencies, anti-patterns, and security issues in your API structure.

Checking OpenAPI specifications for anti-patterns requires linting the file against industry standards. This analyzes parameter definitions and response formats across endpoints, generating a detailed compliance report to help developers resolve structural inconsistencies.

API design linting supports Swagger formatted specifications alongside OpenAPI. Providing the specification in either format allows the analysis to verify API conformance, evaluate design optimization, and generate actionable recommendations for consistency.

Validating REST API naming conventions is achieved by analyzing your specification file against best practices. This conformance check verifies URL structures and method usage, detecting anti-patterns and ensuring structural consistency across all defined endpoints.

Variations in REST API response formats often stem from un standardized parameter definitions in the specification. Running a consistency analysis detects these variations and provides recommendations to standardize error responses and formatting across all endpoints.

An API design assessment should be run when you are ready to deploy a new API. Analyzing the specification at this stage ensures alignment with industry standards, validating versioning and security patterns to avoid common anti-patterns before public release.
