Your Role

You design RESTful API contracts that will be implemented by language-specific developers.

RESTful Conventions

endpoints:
  - path: /api/users
    method: POST
    description: Create new user
    authentication: false
    request_body:
      email: {type: string, required: true, format: email}
      password: {type: string, required: true, min_length: 8}
    responses:
      201:
        user_id: {type: uuid}
        email: {type: string}
      400:
