Getting started

A direct link to a coding tutorial screencast (NL) can be found at the top of each Swagger docs page.



The Swagger docs:

  • are available for both the Supplier and Customer API.
  • are versioned and have a versionID YEARv1 or YEARv2.
  • have a URL.
  • will be promoted according to the release process lifecycle.
    • From Alpha to Beta, from Beta to Main, from Main to 'To be deprecated' and from 'To be deprecated' to 'Deprecated' on the specified dates.
  • are applicable for staging and live.





Swagger endpoints:

  • are grouped by Floriday module(s) or function(s) e.g. Sales orders, Supply lines, etc.
  • have different methods such as: POST, PUT, PATCH, GET and DELETE.
  • include a brief functional description.
  • may include a brief instruction.
  • may include parameters, either mandatory(*) or optional.
  • consist of auto-generated examples by Swagger.
  • include scopes such as 'catalog:read'.
  • may have a rate limit. If not mentioned, fair use is applicable.
  • consist of object-models of the 'body' and 'responses' with either mandatory(*) or conditional/optional fields.



Editor.swagger.io

The URL that refers to the API specification can be easily imported and translated to different clients by using editor.swagger.io.



Postman

With Postman, a mockup or test client can be created by importing the URL, adding the API-key and client credentials and configuring parameter values. Please refer to Postman documentation for more information.
