REST API and OpenAPI: It’s Not an Either/Or Question

How are REST APIs and OpenAPI related, and why should you use OpenAPI when working with REST APIs or services?

In this lightboard video, Nathan Hekman with IBM Cloud, answer these questions and much more as he visually shows how OpenAPI is so fundamental and beneficial to use when working with REST APIs and services.

OpenAPI - is API spec and documentation
RestAPI - implementation.

When my architect shared an OpenAPI definition yaml, I didnt know what it was and I did blindly ran that yml in swagger editor which generated corresponding RestAPI Interface. But now I understood what it is and hope will write an OpenAPI definition in future. Thanks for this video.

Hey Nathan
I am new to APIs and this video has been a quantum leap in breaking down key concepts into bite size digestible parts. I have watched your other video on Gateway APIs. Great work and thank you for your contribution.

Someone directed me to Swagger and OpenAPI. They said it can be generated as documentation and also can be called from an endpoint. Not sure if the second oart is accurate info. However, this is a great video, great explanation and being a front end dev, I wanted to learn and get a feel for how can I create custom API for my personal projects

Can't believe I had seen and worked with the OpenAPI before without knowing what its actually called

Hi, If possible please use bright colors for writing, since the one below benefits is bit hard to read, #JustASuggestion and thanks for the great content .

Great Concept breakdown.

I’d love to see IBM Cloud’s comparison of REST API vs GraphQL API.

Thanks for the video. your explanation is very good but I think, without writing live, it could have been pre-populated text to save time.

Why would make a video where 50% of is dead air while we wait for you to write the things. You dont use slides over there?

[mrwiltofficial]

Informative!! You jumped straight into the topic and explained clearly. Tysm!!

Hi Team,
Could you please help in understanding how to achieve modifications in standard open API if there is a requirement for it.
