SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Defines standard REST API design conventions, error responses, and OpenAPI/Swagger configuration to unify backend interfaces and documentation across the AI Donor Matcher backend.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized URL structures and HTTP methods for consistent endpoints across resources (e.g., /api/{resource}, /api/{resource}/{id}).
  • OpenAPI/Swagger setup including security schemes, UI theming, and endpoint documentation standards.
  • Uniform request/response payloads with explicit success and error formats.

Quick Start

Design a new endpoint following the conventions to generate a documented, testable API surface.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize REST API URL structures and HTTP methods across backend services?▼

Standardize REST API URL structures by applying consistent conventions like /api/{resource} and /api/{resource}/{id} paired with appropriate HTTP methods. This ensures uniform endpoint design and consistent interfaces across backend services.

What is the best way to configure OpenAPI and Swagger documentation for backend endpoints?▼

Configure OpenAPI and Swagger by defining standard security schemes, UI theming, and endpoint documentation rules. This generates a documented, testable API surface that unifies backend interface documentation across services.

How do I standardize error handling and response formats in a REST API?▼

Standardize REST API error handling by defining uniform request and response payloads with explicit success and error formats. This creates consistent error response conventions across all backend API resources.

Do I need OpenAPI configuration to unify backend API documentation?▼

OpenAPI configuration is needed to unify backend documentation, providing standard security schemes and endpoint documentation. It ensures REST API conventions are documented, testable, and consistent across all services.

When should I standardize REST API conventions for endpoint design?▼

Standardize REST API conventions when you need consistent URL structures, HTTP methods, and request/response formats across backend services. This is essential for unifying interfaces and ensuring maintainable API documentation.
