Designing a REST API with OpenAPI 3.1 involves modeling resources, endpoints, and operations before implementation, then generating and validating a lint-clean specification for client SDK generation. This approach ensures consistent conventions and clear endpoint behavior.

Handling API errors with RFC 7807 involves implementing Problem Details formats to provide machine-readable error responses in your API specification. This standardizes error handling across endpoints, ensuring clients can parse and integrate error logic consistently.

Structuring API versioning and deprecation requires establishing a clear evolution plan within your API design to manage breaking changes without disrupting clients. It defines versioning schemes and deprecation timelines directly in the contract.

Yes, you can design both REST and GraphQL API schema contracts by modeling resources, relationships, and operations specific to each architectural style before writing specifications. It guides schema modeling for both paradigms.

Your API specification should include standardized pagination patterns to manage large data sets efficiently across endpoints. Modeling these patterns during API design ensures consistent data retrieval behaviors for clients integrating with your service.

You need to document authentication and authorization during API design when defining access control for protected resources and operations. Establishing these security schemes in the contract ensures clients understand required credentials before integration.
