API Guidelines

This repository contains the API design guidelines for Dutch government APIs. The components folder contains compliant reusable OpenAPI components which can be included in OpenAPI Specifications (OAS).

Referring to components

We recommend to use jsDelivr when referring to the resuable OAS components in this repository. For example, if you want to refer to the Content-Crs header in parameters.yaml, you should use the following URL:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/geonovum/[email protected]/components/parameters.yaml#/contentCrs

Example OAS syntax:

paths:
  /addresses:
    get:
      parameters:
        - $ref: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/geonovum/[email protected]/components/parameters.yaml#/contentCrs'

Versioning

Please note that 1.0.0 points to the specific 1.0.0 release of the API Guidelines. Version ranges are also supported, but not recommended:

• /[email protected]/: latest patch release in the 1.0.x range, e.g. 1.0.3
• /kp-api-guidelines@1/: latest minor release in the 1.x.x range, e.g. 1.2.1.
