API Blueprint

API Design for Humans

A powerful high-level API design language for web APIs.

API Blueprint is simple and accessible to everybody involved in the API design

lifecycle. Its syntax is concise yet expressive.

With API Blueprint you can quickly prototype and model APIs to be created or

describe already deployed mission-critical APIs. From a car to the

largest Content Distribution Network (CDN) in the world.

The API Blueprint is built to encourage dialogue and collaboration between

project stakeholders, developers and customers at any point in the API

lifecycle. At the same time, the API Blueprint tools provide the support to

achieve the goals be it API development, governance or delivery.

Open Source

API Blueprint is completely open sourced under the MIT license.

Any contribution is highly appreciated.

At home on GitHub
