OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) is the standard for describing REST APIs. Swagger UI for documentation, codegen for clients/servers, and a massive ecosystem of tools.
Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“The REST API description standard. Every API should have an OpenAPI spec. The tooling ecosystem is massive.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
“OpenAPI specs are increasingly important as AI tools consume APIs. Machine-readable API descriptions enable AI integration.”
