Review an OpenAPI spec by evaluating REST contracts against best practices for design, security, and resilience. Submit the spec to generate structured findings with severity levels, domain mappings, and remediation recommendations to mitigate risks.

A contract-first REST API design review identifies architectural, security, and resilience gaps during the planning phase. It analyzes endpoint lists or verbal descriptions against established principles to produce a readiness assessment before implementation begins.

Yes, you can review verbal API design descriptions. The review process applies to endpoint lists and conceptual designs across REST architectures, producing a structured output with detailed findings and a readiness assessment even without a formal OpenAPI spec.

Assess REST API resilience and security by mapping design principles, security defenses, and communication patterns against the proposed architecture. This produces a structured summary citing relevant references to identify gaps before development.

Yes, the API design review works across REST architectures. It applies domain-focused evaluation to OpenAPI specs, endpoint lists, and design descriptions, generating structured findings and a readiness assessment regardless of the specific REST implementation.

The best way to identify gaps in REST API designs is through a structured review that evaluates contracts against design, security, and resilience principles. This yields detailed findings with severity levels and remediation recommendations to reduce risk.
