# OTHER API DOCS # Could do withe an overview. What is it? What does it do? Who is it for? Why would I use this? For a good example, see https://ionicframework.com/docs # Getting started - I have made some tweaks to this but it would be handy to also provide some JS code to make an example API call. PUT /admin​/features​/{featureName} is a good choice (since it has both a Request body and a query parameter) # Status and error codes - It would be useful to generate a simple table listing all status codes. See how Clearbit does it: https://clearbit.com/docs?python#errors # Rate limiting and thresholds - Need to inform people of this even if it's not a 'thing', they will ask. See https://unleash-community.slack.com/archives/CGP2MCHPF/p1603106990003200 See how Twitter API describes their limits: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/rate-limits # Glossary - Need definitions for, as a start, the project specific stuff: Unleash server, Unleash client, Feature Toggle, Strategy, Variant, Diff. Doesn't need to be massive. For instance, see the Lyft glossary - https://developer.lyft.com/docs/glossary # Reference - Is the guidance on the documentation site complete? # TESTING # QA team test cases. Test code exists but were these based on a list of steps required to produce a result? # Are there any real-world users of Unleash who are happy to read and test the Open API specification and make suggestions for improvement? Would they be happy to screen-record what they are doing (how they use the API will give invaluable insights)? # OAS REVIEW # Move responses to root responses section in components (from schema section) # Issues with rendering as nested externaldocs from Swagger UI. See GET /admin​/feature-types. Not an issue in other tools (see redoc.html) # STYLE # Add style guide MD. UK/US, Newspaper/Movie, Plurals. & # OAS styler - Only use backticks for code samples and API paths.

Once you have [set your Unleash server up](https://unleash.github.io/docs/getting_started), you can test the API from inside your browser. The following assumes the server is running on localhost:4242. The following 'endpoints' (such as `GET /admin/metrics/applications`) provide reference documentation for the Unleash REST API. To try out API calls: 1. Expand an endpoint 2. Click **Try it out** 3. Customise the **Request body** and/or **Parameters**. 4. Click **Execute**. You will see the cURL request submitted to the API server and the corresponding response. Alternatively, you can test the API in [Postman](https://app.getpostman.com/run-collection/8552ddcd4cc9fc012548) [![Run in Postman](https://run.pstmn.io/button.svg)](https://app.getpostman.com/run-collection/8552ddcd4cc9fc012548) version: 3.5.6 contact: name: The Unleash team url: 'https://unleash.github.io/' externalDocs: description: Unleash documentation url: 'https://unleash.github.io/docs/getting_started' paths: /admin/features: get: summary: Fetches all feature toggles from the Unleash server. description: | The response returns all active feature toggles and their current strategy configuration: - A feature toggle will have *at least* one configured strategy. - A strategy will have a `name` and `parameters` map. externalDocs: description: Activation strategies url: 'https://unleash.github.io/docs/activation_strategy' operationId: getFeatures tags: - Feature toggles responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/200' '401': description: Not authorised content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/401' post: summary: Create a Feature Toggle description: Create a new Feature Toggle tags: - Feature toggles operationId: createFeatureToggle requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/featureToggleSchema' responses: '201': description: Feature Toggle successfully created '400': description: Bad body request (for example, Feature Toggle name is not unique) '401': description: Not authorised content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/401' '/admin/features/{featureName}': get: summary: Fetches a specific Feature Toggle from the Unleash server. description: | The response returns the Feature Toggle's current strategy configuration: - It will have *at least* one configured strategy. - A strategy will have a *name* and *parameters* map. externalDocs: description: Activation strategies url: 'https://unleash.github.io/docs/activation_strategy' operationId: getFeature parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/featureNamePath' tags: - Feature toggles responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/200' '401': description: Not authorised content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/401' put: summary: Update a Feature Toggle description: Update a Feature Toggle. operationId: featureName tags: - Feature toggles parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/featureNamePath' requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/featureToggleSchema' responses: '200': description: Feature Toggle successfully updated content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/200' '400': description: Bad body request (for example 'strategies' is not an array) '401': description: Not authorised content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/401' '404': description: Feature Toggle not found delete: summary: Archive a Feature Toggle. description: | Feature toggles can only be archived - they cannot be deleted.
