OpenAPI / Swagger

What is OpenAPI?

The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a standard, language agnostic interface for RESTful APIs allowing for systems and people to understand the capabilities of a service without needing access to source code or extensive documentation. Before being donated to the OpenAPI Initiative by SmartBear Software, OAS was known as the Swagger API specification.

An OAS document defines and describes an API or set of API endpoints. Tools such as OpenAPI Generator can be used to generate code to interact with our OAS documents.

Accessing Hawk Marketplace OAS Documents

Blackhawk Network provides OAS documents for each of the Hawk Marketplace RESTful API sets. These OAS documents use the Swagger 2.0 JSON specification
