For folks straddling #API and #AI lands: we’ve shipped Jentic OpenAPI Tools to #PyPI. A Python toolkit for parsing, validating, and transforming #OpenAPI docs, built with a pluggable backend architecture and strong type safety. Check it out at: pypi.org/project/jent... @jentic.bsky.social

The “Agentic Sandbox” - A simulated environment that mirrors internal APIs and data systems, letting teams test agents safely, identify high-value use cases, and promote only validated workflows (as #Arazzo) to production capability registry. jentic.com/blog/the-age...

🚀 #OpenAPI 3.2 is live! A backwards-compatible release with: • New HTTP methods (incl. QUERY) • Better tags system • Support for streaming media types • Updated OAuth support Upgrade guide learn.openapis.org/upgrading/v3... Big thanks to the @openapis.org contributors who made this happen.

𝙉𝙤 𝘼𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝘼𝙋𝙄𝙨 I’ll speak at APIDays London (Sep 24) in the OpenAPI track; exploring how to capture intent and ensure we build the right APIs! I'll show how to use Example Mapping and pair AI with #OpenAPI/ #Arazzo to accelerate with purpose Comp Tickets: ticket.apidays.global/event/apiday...

We are looking forward to the OAI Track - this time the OpenAPI Summit! - at API:World next week! Read our thoughts on what makes the OAI Track so important in bringing the #OpenAPI, #Arazzo, and #Overlay Specifications to the community. www.openapis.org/blog/2025/08... #api

The agenda is out for the API World OAI Track, running Sept. 3 to 5, 2025. Checkout the details on our events page: www.openapis.org/events/apiwo... #api #openapi #arazzo #overlay

MCP is changing how we expose #APIs to AI agents but mapping tools 1:1 to endpoints is fragile. Context gets bloated. Orchestration gets baked-in. Interoperability gets lost. In my latest blog, I suggest pairing #Arazzo + #MCP to counteract the challenges above! 👉 smartbear.com/blog/from-en...

AI is evolving fast and structured, deterministic interfaces still matter. For agents to reason and act reliably, they need more than endpoints. They need well-designed API capabilities. I covered more on the topic below👇 smartbear.com/blog/why-api... #OpenAPI #AgenticWorkflows #MCP #Arazzo

Friday ToDo: Cycle all passwords 🔒 𝟭𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 credentials (for social media, email, VPNs, dev portals) have been leaked according to security researchers. For "dev portals" you should also cycle issued keys/credentials for clients (with advance comms of course). www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

APIs are being generated at lightning speed (GenAI 🚀), and AI is now a major API consumer (including the malicious kind) Have you already adopted a secure-by-design approach? 🔒 Tip: Know the OWASP API Top 10 📺 Video breakdown: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #apisecurity #owasp #securebydesign

🎥 How does #AI affect #APIs? @dret.bsky.social compiled Expert Opinions from API Days New York 2025. Insights on AI as a consumer, doc requirements, discoverability, security needs, increasing API numbers etc. Well worth a watch!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ekE...

New 𝚘𝚛 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 just landed in #Spectral! Define rules that pass if 𝙖𝙣𝙮 of several props exist (e.g., 𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚕𝚎, 𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚢, or 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗)💡 More flexible for real-world @openapis.org docs. Check the blog for use cases + examples: blog.stoplight.io/introducting... #apidesign #openapi #devtools

The 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 (𝗢𝗔𝗞) manifesto published by @jentic.bsky.social has 10 principles for how #ai-agents and #APIs should act together. Focus is on: - Better API Docs - Leveraging #OpenAPI + #Arazzo to compliment #MCP - Vendor agnostic interop The manifesto: github.com/jentic/oak/b...

#APIs are being built faster than ever, but is quality keeping pace? API downtime can cost $100K+ per hour, quality can’t be an assumed. I’m excited about API Hub for Test, our newest addition to SmartBear’s API Hub with testing directly in your workflow! smartbear.com/blog/from-de... #apitesting

Nice to see updates within the @openapi.bsky.social initiative getting a shout out in the LF newsletter!

A gem from our OpenAPI archives! In this video Frank Kilcommins of SmartBear introduces the concept of Arazzo and how it actually works in practice. Watch the full video here: zuplo.link/arazzo

Sometimes it's the small things! I've updated all our #Swagger docs examples, links, and references to reflect #OpenAPI 3.0.4 and 3.1.1 respectively. Still loving our new docs site too: swagger.io/docs/specifi...

Are your #APIs and API-based capabilities ready for #AIAgents? Can #Arazzo bring control, discoverability, and improve the outcomes for the new wave of API consumers? I penned my opinions for the @thenewstack.io thenewstack.io/the-rise-of-...

Enjoyed speaking at @iata.org Open API Working Group @ WDS ✈️ Great discussions on #OpenAPI, #Arazzo & #AsyncAPI! 🚀 Nice to see the role #Stoplight & #Spectral play in airline API standardization. Excited to keep supporting from SmartBear & drive API interoperability forward! #APIs #IATA

Always a pleasure chatting with the incredibly knowledgeable @kinlane.bsky.social (aka @apievangelist.com). This time we focused on #Arazzo and the maturing of the #OpenAPI Initiative into a multi-specification project under the @linuxfoundation.org #apis #apiworkflows

Curious about the #Arazzo Specification from the #OpenAPI Initiative? My deep dive breaks it down—in plain English! 🔹 What is Arazzo? 🔹 Where it adds value 🔹 The structure (simplified) 🔹 Real-world example 🔹 Fast-tracking with ArazzoGPT 👉 swagger.io/blog/the-ara... #apis #apiworkflows #aiagents

#OpenAPI has launched v1.0.1 of the #Arazzo Specification! Arazzo is a description language that can reference multiple #APIs, each described with an OpenAPI description or another Arazzo doc, providing consumers with a rich view of complex, multistep workflows www.openapis.org/blog/2025/01...

We’ve released 0.8.0 of 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲.𝗖𝗹𝗶 - supporting nested Postman Collections (our most frequently requested feature) in our import to #SwaggerHub Explore 🚀 We've also added an`𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝-𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚝-𝚏𝚒𝚕𝚎` feature allowing you explore the #API calls representing consumer expectations within a #Pact contract.

The release of 1.0.1 of the #Arazzo Specification from #OpenAPI is ready to go. github.com/OAI/Arazzo-S... It improves clarity, resolves bugs, and we’ve bundled a formal #JSONSchema for Arazzo too. We’ll follow up in the coming days with the formal publishing and release blog with full details.

#OpenAPI 3.0.4 support is now available in #Swagger JavaScript tooling! This support is available starting with the tooling versions listed below: ApiDOM: github.com/swagger-api/... SwaggerJS: github.com/swagger-api/... 3.1.1 coming soon!

Following our revamp #swagger docs site with @astro.build and wonderful #starlight theme, we've gave some TLC 😍 to our #SwaggerCodegen docs. You can now find specific docs for the v3 and v2 tracks. Docs: swagger.io/docs/open-so... We've also back on GitHub for docs: github.com/swagger-api/...

Great to see #OpenAPI Initiative, #AsyncAPI Initiative, #JSONSchema and @graphqlfoundation.bsky.social come together as part of the #API standards booth at #APIDaysParis! Stop by if you want to learn more about the specifications

Darrel Miller is key noting the OpenAPI Initiative track at #APIDays speaking about ‘Delivering Authentic Intelligence with OpenAPI’ Come check out the #OpenAPI track!

#APIDaysParis kicks off tomorrow! I’ll be speaking on the #OpenAPI track at 4:45 PM about 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘇𝗼, demoing new tools for the #Arazzo Spec! If the "demo gods" are kind, we'll go from zero to deployed workflow-enabled product in a Developer Portal! Hope to see you there!
