OpenAPI Spec for CP4D APIs

UPDATE: Please see my comment below


We have the need to automate Cloud Pack for data with the REST API. For this we would need an OpenAPI Spec File fitting to the CP4D Version (on premise) we currently have.


This situation was discussed extensivly in the ticket TS017184034.


What we don't want or need is a API Generator. This is Only overhead for us.


We would need Small Open API Files for each Product in CP4D.


For example:


-> CP4D Platform API

-> CP4D Datastage API

-> CP4D Cognos API

....


The Files should be availabe in the admin area of the Platform, so that we get a new APIs every time we get new Products or Versions of the Products. There should be only the Endpoints inside the Files you want us to use.


We realy don't want a client or client generator. Such stuff only caused us headachse in the past. If you deliver a valid Openapi File prefered Version 3.x. This would be enough.


We have already all the generators we want in place and don't want to introduce a new one.


I know this is not so simple as it sounds. As there is nothing at the moment, we will create the files by ourselve and hopefully we can switch to yours in the future. As this would save us a lot of work checking changes on the endpoint I would like to have it yesterday....


Thanks

Peter

    I have an update to this request, maybe it is not as difficult to implement as talked befor.


    In another support ticket your workmate told me about api explorer.


    I didn' know you are using liberty as web server and also have the api exposed as swagger api.

    I am not sure, if I am too stupid finding this or everyone

    This is exactly what I wanted :)


    Urls:

    https://host/v2/connections/api/explorer/

    https://host/v2/connections/api/docs -> yaml file - YES :)


    Now my request slightly changes and you can decicde which direction you want to go:


    NEW RFE Content: For me the main problem was not to find this stuff.

    If you just could implement an API Site in the cpadmin Backend, where this links are aggregated and commented it would be enough and is self explaining.

    There is no need for an additional extra api File. Just include the https://host/v2/connections/api/docs link into a download button and thats it.


    What I haven't discovered jet is, what are all the apis you have. I read the documentaiton and found a lot of stuff, but it was more confusing than helpful.


    For me there is no need for additional documentation.


    The api explorer looks fine for me. Yes I am happy finding this and I am a little confused, that the support didn't point me in this direction.
