Launch Week III Day 5: OpenAPI Automations

Hahnbee Lee
Co-founder
Launch Week Day 5 brings OpenAPI automations to your documentation 🤖.
When you're constantly shipping changes to your API, it's important to reflect those changes in your documentation ASAP.
Our revamped setup makes autogenerating your API Reference docs seamless, removing the need for any manual labor to reflect changes in production

Getting Started
To auto-populate your API Playground pages, you can now add an openapi
field
to an object in the tabs
or anchors
arrays in
the mint.json
.
Example with Anchors:
{
"anchors": [
{
"name": "API Reference",
"openapi": "/path/to/openapi.json",
"url": "api-reference",
"icon": "square-terminal"
}
]
}

Example with Tabs:
{
"tabs": [
{
"name": "API Reference",
"openapi": "/path/to/openapi.json",
"url": "api-reference"
}
]
}

We also support this functionality for OpenAPI Specs hosted at a URL. For example:
{
"tabs": [
{
"name": "API Reference",
"url": "api-reference",
"openapi": "https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json"
}
]
}
Next Steps
Try out the feature yourself by updating your CLI:
npm i mintlify@latest -g
And adding the following code to your mint.json:
{
"tabs": [
{
"name": "API Reference",
"url": "api-reference",
"openapi": "https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json"
}
]
}
