Create a new API on the Vaktum platform

About APIs in Vaktum

Vaktum is using the interface specification of a software platform to test and generate artifacts such as SDKs and data models.

As such the first step in Vaktum is to provide an API specification. There are 2 key ways of doing so:

  1. Privide an OpenAPI specification:
  2. Scrape a public API Documentation

Upload OpenAPI specification

If available, uploading an OpenAPI specification is the best and most accurate option. Vaktum supports OpenAPI 2 (swagger) and OpenAPI 3 specifications. Filetypes can be json, yaml, or yml.

Once the file has been located, it can be used directly in the Vaktum CLI application or uploaded through Vaktum.com or the Vaktum API

Scrape API Documentatin

In case no OpenAPI specification file is available, Vaktum can read and ingest an API Documentation accessible online.

To start scraping a public API documentation provide the URL of the API Documentation through Vaktum.com or make a requet to the Vaktum API.

Important note: Only scrape API Documentation in your ownership. Vaktum is monitoring API Documentation scraping for abuse.
Scraping longer API Documentations can take >30 minutes to perform. Monitor the progress in the jobs dashboard
