- First post of the year with @thenewstack.io . Having reviews 1000s of APIs, I outline why most APIs break down in AI systems and 6 practical dimensions for making APIs AI-ready. To get more ROI from agents, we have to solve integration (it's the execution layer!). thenewstack.io/why-most-api...

- For folks straddling #API and #AI lands: we’ve shipped Jentic OpenAPI Tools to #PyPI. A Python toolkit for parsing, validating, and transforming #OpenAPI docs, built with a pluggable backend architecture and strong type safety. Check it out at: pypi.org/project/jent... @jentic.bsky.social
- The “Agentic Sandbox” - A simulated environment that mirrors internal APIs and data systems, letting teams test agents safely, identify high-value use cases, and promote only validated workflows (as #Arazzo) to production capability registry. jentic.com/blog/the-age...
- 🚀 #OpenAPI 3.2 is live! A backwards-compatible release with: • New HTTP methods (incl. QUERY) • Better tags system • Support for streaming media types • Updated OAuth support Upgrade guide learn.openapis.org/upgrading/v3... Big thanks to the @openapis.org contributors who made this happen.
- 𝙉𝙤 𝘼𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝘼𝙋𝙄𝙨 I’ll speak at APIDays London (Sep 24) in the OpenAPI track; exploring how to capture intent and ensure we build the right APIs! I'll show how to use Example Mapping and pair AI with #OpenAPI/ #Arazzo to accelerate with purpose Comp Tickets: ticket.apidays.global/event/apiday...
- Reposted by fkilcomminsWe are looking forward to the OAI Track - this time the OpenAPI Summit! - at API:World next week! Read our thoughts on what makes the OAI Track so important in bringing the #OpenAPI, #Arazzo, and #Overlay Specifications to the community. www.openapis.org/blog/2025/08... #api
- Reposted by fkilcomminsThe agenda is out for the API World OAI Track, running Sept. 3 to 5, 2025. Checkout the details on our events page: www.openapis.org/events/apiwo... #api #openapi #arazzo #overlay
- MCP is changing how we expose #APIs to AI agents but mapping tools 1:1 to endpoints is fragile. Context gets bloated. Orchestration gets baked-in. Interoperability gets lost. In my latest blog, I suggest pairing #Arazzo + #MCP to counteract the challenges above! 👉 smartbear.com/blog/from-en...
- AI is evolving fast and structured, deterministic interfaces still matter. For agents to reason and act reliably, they need more than endpoints. They need well-designed API capabilities. I covered more on the topic below👇 smartbear.com/blog/why-api... #OpenAPI #AgenticWorkflows #MCP #Arazzo
- Friday ToDo: Cycle all passwords 🔒 𝟭𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 credentials (for social media, email, VPNs, dev portals) have been leaked according to security researchers. For "dev portals" you should also cycle issued keys/credentials for clients (with advance comms of course). www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...
- APIs are being generated at lightning speed (GenAI 🚀), and AI is now a major API consumer (including the malicious kind) Have you already adopted a secure-by-design approach? 🔒 Tip: Know the OWASP API Top 10 📺 Video breakdown: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... #apisecurity #owasp #securebydesign

- I’ll be speaking at #apidaysHelsinki on June 4th! Talks/Panels ➊ 𝗔𝗜 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗣𝗜’𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲 ➋ 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 using Example Mapping, OpenAPI, & #Arazzo ➌ Building Communities with @openapis.org Free guest tickets: ticket.apidays.global/event/apiday... Hope to see you there! 🚀
- 🎥 How does #AI affect #APIs? @dret.bsky.social compiled Expert Opinions from API Days New York 2025. Insights on AI as a consumer, doc requirements, discoverability, security needs, increasing API numbers etc. Well worth a watch!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ekE...

- New 𝚘𝚛 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 just landed in #Spectral! Define rules that pass if 𝙖𝙣𝙮 of several props exist (e.g., 𝚝𝚒𝚝𝚕𝚎, 𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚢, or 𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗)💡 More flexible for real-world @openapis.org docs. Check the blog for use cases + examples: blog.stoplight.io/introducting... #apidesign #openapi #devtools

- The 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 (𝗢𝗔𝗞) manifesto published by @jentic.bsky.social has 10 principles for how #ai-agents and #APIs should act together. Focus is on: - Better API Docs - Leveraging #OpenAPI + #Arazzo to compliment #MCP - Vendor agnostic interop The manifesto: github.com/jentic/oak/b...
- #APIs are being built faster than ever, but is quality keeping pace? API downtime can cost $100K+ per hour, quality can’t be an assumed. I’m excited about API Hub for Test, our newest addition to SmartBear’s API Hub with testing directly in your workflow! smartbear.com/blog/from-de... #apitesting
- Nice to see updates within the @openapi.bsky.social initiative getting a shout out in the LF newsletter!

- Sometimes it's the small things! I've updated all our #Swagger docs examples, links, and references to reflect #OpenAPI 3.0.4 and 3.1.1 respectively. Still loving our new docs site too: swagger.io/docs/specifi...
