Azure REST API Specifications

Description

This repository is the canonical source for REST API specifications for Microsoft Azure.

Basics

In the Azure Developer Experience workflow, you are at Step 3:

API Design Review -> Engage with ADX team -> Swagger specification -> SDKs -> CLIs

If you're a spec author looking for information about all of of the repositories and steps in the pipeline, go back to the adx-documentation-pr repository. Make sure to join the Github Azure organization to get access to that repo.

Getting started

Our Contribution guidelines walks you through the process of contributing to this repository.
The /documentation folder contains reference documentation for all aspects of Swagger and our recommended patterns. Start with the Creating Swagger page.
If you are using Swashbuckle to generate a swagger spec from your .NET WEB API then please take a look at this repo.

Directory Structure

The structure of the directory should strictly follow these rules:

The top level folder must be the service name
The second level must be the API versions
The third level must be the format of the specification
The fourth level must be the specifications

The structure should appear like so:

.
├── arm-authorization
│   └── 2015-01-01
│       └── swagger
│           └── authorization.json
├── arm-compute
│   └── 2015-06-15
│       └── swagger
│           └── service.json
├── arm-features
│   └── 2014-08-01-preview
│       └── swagger
│           └── features.json
├── arm-network
│   └── 2015-05-01-preview
│       └── swagger
│           └── service.json
├── arm-resources
│   └── 2014-04-01-preview
│       └── swagger
│           └── service.json
├── arm-storage
│   └── 2015-05-01-preview
│       └── swagger
│           └── service.json
├── arm-subscriptions
│   └── 2014-04-01-preview
│       └── swagger
│           └── service.json
├── arm-web
├── documentation
└── readme.md

Currently, the specifications are expected to be in Swagger JSON format

Next steps

The next step in the process after a spec is completed is to generate SDKs. Go to the SDKs section of the Azure Developer Experience guide for more information.
