How ReAPI Organizes APIs
Let’s walk you through how our platform organizes APIs for an efficient and streamlined experience.
Step 1: Signing Up and Creating Workspaces
After signing up for ReAPI:
- Create Workspaces: These are your primary areas for organizing API development. Each workspace is like a comprehensive folder where you manage different API aspects.
Step 2: Utilizing Workspaces
In each workspace, you can:
- Create and Manage Projects: Here is where most of your API work happens.
- Manage Workspace Members: Add or remove team members and control their access.
- Manage Public APIs: Handle APIs that are accessible publicly.
- Configure OpenAI API Key: Set up your OpenAI API key for AI-powered functionalities.
Step 3: Setting Up Projects
Within each workspace:
- Create Projects: A project can consist of one or more microservices.
- Organize Microservices: Each microservice represents a set of APIs, helping you categorize and manage them effectively.
Step 4: Managing API Types and Versioning
At the project level, ReAPI supports different types of services:
- REST API Service: These can be exported as self-contained OpenAPI specifications.
- Component Repository: Use this to store shared definitions that can be reused across different APIs.
- Messaging Service: For managing asynchronous messaging services like websockets or pub-sub communications.
Additionally, ReAPI ensures:
- Unified Versioning: Consistent versioning across all services in a project, ensuring reference consistency.
ReAPI’s structured approach ensures your API development is well-organized, from workspace creation to managing different types of APIs and version control. This organization paves the way for a more efficient and streamlined API development process.
