What is this reference for?

OpenAPI is a specification for describing RESTful APIs. Functionally, it serves as a source of truth for API tooling, documentation, and testing. As such, it is essential for developers to understand the specification.

This reference is intended to be complementary of the official OpenAPI Specification Reference. It is focused on being dev-friendly: example-based with thorough explanations, plus AI search!

If you would like to contribute to this reference, please see the contributing guide.

What is Speakeasy

At Speakeasy we are building the toolchain to make APIs easy to create and consume.

Today, our platform allows you to create a robust developer experience for your API using an OpenAPI spec:

Due to the nature of our work, we spend a lot of time working with OpenAPI and have become experts on how the spec impacts downstream workflows. This reference is a way for us to give back to the community and pass on some of the learning that we've done along the way.
