From Git Push to API Compliance: CI Spec Linting with Postman API Catalog
Blog post from Postman
Managing APIs in large organizations can be challenging due to fragmented documentation and outdated information spread across various platforms. Postman's API Catalog offers a solution by providing a centralized, up-to-date view of APIs, including their definitions, governance rules, and health status across environments. By integrating directly with source repositories like GitHub, the Catalog automatically adds API definitions and can generate OpenAPI specs for services lacking documentation. This integration facilitates seamless updates and aligns API documentation with current development practices. Additionally, the API Catalog allows for spec linting in CI pipelines, tracking API performance across different environments, and maintaining access control based on existing Postman workspace permissions. This approach ensures APIs remain accurate and reliable without manual maintenance, ultimately aiming to create robust and dependable APIs.
