What is Open API? - Definition, Applications, and Best Practices

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a framework used by developers to build applications that interact with REST APIs. The specification defines how to communicate with an API, what information can be requested, and what information can be returned. With OpenAPI, developers can ensure their APIs are consistent with the industry standards and can easily integrate their applications with other services.

An Open API, or Open Application Programming Interface, is a publicly available set of protocols, tools, and standards that allows developers to interact with a software application or service. It promotes interoperability, collaboration, and innovation by enabling third-party developers to build applications or integrate functionalities using the provided API. Adhering to best practices such as clear documentation, versioning, security, and rate limiting ensures the effectiveness and usability of Open APIs.
