Make an API definition easier to use without hiding compatibility or validation issues.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For an API definition the requester is authorized to process, prepare a conversion from an older specification format to a newer one, then validate the resulting document. Preserve the original, check for unsupported or ambiguous fields, review external references and any information the document exposes, and require an API owner to approve compatibility and publication before the converted specification is adopted.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

Illustrative workflow and outcome
An API owner needs to modernize a specificationAn authorized API definition and a target format requirement
“Prepare a converted specification while making changes, limitations, and validation results reviewable.”
Work through the request.

Clear tasks, with review where it matters.

  1. Confirm specification ownership and target version
  2. Prepare a converted specification draft
  3. Validate structure and external references

What this workflow could do

Helps developers convert older API definitions, validate newer specifications, and check service availability.

Review points proposed in this idea

A successful conversion or schema check does not guarantee that an API behaves compatibly or securely. Keep the original, review warnings and references, avoid exposing secrets in specification files, and have the API owner verify behavior before publication.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Document supported source and target versions

    Set clear expectations for conversion and validation coverage.

  2. 02

    Preserve original definitions and change notes

    Make every conversion reviewable against its source.

  3. 03

    Set rules for secrets and remote references

    Remove credentials and check references before sharing a specification.

  4. 04

    Assign an API compatibility reviewer

    Have the owner review behavior and warnings before adoption.

Read the prelaunch status

Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
