When my architect shared an OpenAPI definition yaml, I didnt know what it was and I did blindly ran that yml in swagger editor which generated corresponding RestAPI Interface. But now I understood what it is and hope will write an OpenAPI definition in future. Thanks for this video.
Hey Nathan I am new to APIs and this video has been a quantum leap in breaking down key concepts into bite size digestible parts. I have watched your other video on Gateway APIs. Great work and thank you for your contribution.
More specific explanation: - Rest: takes care of the mappings like GET - OpenApi: specifies what methods both parties need to implement Example in Java code: 1) We don't use OpenApi The server will implement @GetMapping(), @PutMapping()... All information of the request will be put in the annotation too: @GetMapping("api/test/{parameter}") public void test(@Parameter ...) 2) We use OpenApi OpenApi is an IDL which is needed on both client and server. This will be compiled and makes sure that both parties have the necessary data structures to allow communication. The client will now send a request by using an interface, this interface will generate a HTTP request (Rest style) But now, a server 'stub' is created: this is the interface specified by OpenApi. The server implements the interface with functionality. Note, the 'stub' implements the @GetMapping() and puts the parameters in the interface methods. So now, the functions will be: @Override public void test(String test)
Someone directed me to Swagger and OpenAPI. They said it can be generated as documentation and also can be called from an endpoint. Not sure if the second oart is accurate info. However, this is a great video, great explanation and being a front end dev, I wanted to learn and get a feel for how can I create custom API for my personal projects
Hi , If possible please use bright colors for writing , since the one below benefits is bit hard to read , #JustASuggestion and thanks for the great content .
Who creates the Open API? Is it automatically created when the API is created? does one need to actually create it to ensure that the specification is documented? From the video, you mentioned that Mark can reference the open API.
Thank you! That does does sound like a great topic. We'll see what we can do about getting that video made. I would recommend you subscribe to the channel, if you haven't yet, to make sure you'll know when we get that published! Thank you for the suggestion.
That was one Hek of a presentation ;) Liked, subscribed and learned a lot in only a few minutes. Plus, excellent content cleverly presented. Also the date of the publication is my birthday :O
@@IBMTechnology I have to learn OpenAPI and make sense of how it works because we need to build a new node API and document it. your video helped immensely when it comes to getting started! Pulled an all nighter doing research and have a lot to report back to the boss with. Worth it :)
We're so happy we could help you in such a way, let us know if you'd need more resources. You could also consult the links in this video's description, they lead to a wealth of documentation. ⤴️ Good luck with your project, and be sure to also have a good rest. 😉
Good videos thanks. I was subscribed on this channel before but somwhere along the line you started to publish too many "Customer stories" videos which as i believe not many viewers want to see. Most of the viewers here want to see the technical videos explaining topics in abstract diagrams, labels and real life analogy. Thank you
Hi Edmund! In OpenAPI, both parameters and properties are case sensitive. So parameter “Foo” is distinct from “foo”. You can see more information in the OpenAPI Specification: ibm.co/2VnxgnY
How do you draw on the whiteboard but not have the image be reversed in the video? Are you drawing reversed in reality or are you guys using CGI in some way.
It's a good video but there's so much downtime of him just writing. This could have been a 5 min video if he didn't have to write everything he's saying...
OpenAPI - is API spec and documentation
RestAPI - implementation.
The video hinted me towards this.....nd now this comment confirms all about it...Thanks
So what we see in swagger is open API? I am new to this so please ignore if i am being wrong and correct me if possible.
WOW! This is the best most logical and educational video about OPEN API.

Thanks mr. Beast for explanation about this!
Didnt expect to see you on this channel but anyway thanks a lot!
Hahahaha! I thought the same
Hey Nathan
I am new to APIs and this video has been a quantum leap in breaking down key concepts into bite size digestible parts. I have watched your other video on Gateway APIs. Great work and thank you for your contribution.
Can't believe I had seen and worked with the OpenAPI before without knowing what its actually called
same here as month long coder

Thanks for this video. Crystal clear explanation of Open API and why it is important for automation
More specific explanation:
- Rest: takes care of the mappings like GET
- OpenApi: specifies what methods both parties need to implement
Example in Java code:
1) We don't use OpenApi
The server will implement @GetMapping(), @PutMapping()...
All information of the request will be put in the annotation too:
@GetMapping("api/test/{parameter}")
public void test(@Parameter ...)
2) We use OpenApi
OpenApi is an IDL which is needed on both client and server. This will be compiled and makes sure that both parties have the necessary data structures to allow communication. The client will now send a request by using an interface, this interface will generate a HTTP request (Rest style)
But now, a server 'stub' is created: this is the interface specified by OpenApi. The server implements the interface with functionality. Note, the 'stub' implements the @GetMapping() and puts the parameters in the interface methods. So now, the functions will be:
@Override
public void test(String test)
Informative!! You jumped straight into the topic and explained clearly. Tysm!!
Thanks for the video. your explanation is very good but I think, without writing live, it could have been pre-populated text to save time.

Wow, so much valuable and clear infomation in less than 10 min. Thanks!! Defenitely worth subscribe
Definitely! 👍 Thanks for subscribing! 🙂

Great Concept breakdown.
I’d love to see IBM Cloud’s comparison of REST API vs GraphQL API.
Thank you! That does does sound like a great topic. We'll see what we can do about getting that video made. I would recommend you subscribe to the channel, if you haven't yet, to make sure you'll know when we get that published! Thank you for the suggestion.
@@IBMTechnology Looking forward to it too!
Why would make a video where 50% of is dead air while we wait for you to write the things. You dont use slides over there?
That was one Hek of a presentation ;) Liked, subscribed and learned a lot in only a few minutes. Plus, excellent content cleverly presented. Also the date of the publication is my birthday :O
Great video Nathan, thanks a lot for the explanation
Best video for API🙌
Seen 5 videos and still didn´t get it. Now i get it :) thanks
I never thought Oliver Queen would teach me about REST API's. Thanks for the video.
Ha, ha, thanks! Glad you found it useful!

How are you writing backwards
Can we take a moment to talk about how fast he writes backwards?
or maybe the video is mirrored?
@@fede77 that was the joke
@@fede77 whoosh 😂
Yeah the video is mirrored
Exactly 😅😂
really cool explanations and illustrations, thank you, even though writing left hand and reversed (traditional ibm videos joke, its actually mirrored)
Brilliant and nicely explained👍
Great video clear explanation of what and why
Nicely explained, fantastic, thanks.
Swagger does that right ?
OpenAPI is specification, but Swagger is tool for its implementation
@@bojantrifkovic8684 how does swagger differ from Postman, what are its benefits?
how did you write reversely
Thank you very much. It was super easy to better understand the OpenAPI Spec :)
Excellent explanation
If the Shop is already using REST API, how is Mark able to find the fitting Open API standard?
By using open API, we are making REST API is standardized like SOAP. Is that my understanding is correct?
Thanks pal, is very important to know that concepts in the industry.
Hi Team,
Could you please help in understanding how to achieve modifications in standard open API if there is a requirement for it.
Great explanation!
Thank you. It's a really clear explanation.
Good videos thanks. I was subscribed on this channel before but somwhere along the line you started to publish too many "Customer stories" videos which as i believe not many viewers want to see. Most of the viewers here want to see the technical videos explaining topics in abstract diagrams, labels and real life analogy. Thank you
Thanks, very clear explanation!
Is he actually writing backwards that quickly? Is there some trick to this magic?
The video is just flipped. If you add "transform: rotateY(180deg);" to the video element, you can see what it really looks like.
You love ice cream is all I’m getting from these videos lol
Jk of course.
Love the explanations!
I am confused, did you write backwards on glass?
Not quite. Check out these behind the scenes 👉 ibm.co/3rXOnOH 😉
Open Api is the documentation for REST API
good one
Meanwhile my mind is unable to process how is he writing backwards so fast or how did he record the video.
Great explanation Thanks!!
do parameters need to be case sensitive or insensitive? Does OpenAPI specification define such standard?
Hi Edmund! In OpenAPI, both parameters and properties are case sensitive. So parameter “Foo” is distinct from “foo”. You can see more information in the OpenAPI Specification: ibm.co/2VnxgnY
Thank You bro!
Very clear, thank you
Nice video, well done, ty!
Thank you, very clear about Open API stuff
why did you say API interface, you are saying App programing interface interface
supler clear thank u!!!!
are yall writing backwards..?
Search on "lightboard videos".
How do you draw on the whiteboard but not have the image be reversed in the video? Are you drawing reversed in reality or are you guys using CGI in some way.
Nice one guy!
Mr. Beast is great at tech
Thanks!
Thanks
it's hard to follow when you stop for writing all the time. use a presentation.
Didnt know MrBeast taught coding
thanks
Wow. Mr. Beast is a web developer now. 😱
😂 "I sent this small website 1,000,000 API requests"
Sorry mate, I got lost about 3/4 in... It was very interesting, but I think writing "everything" made the screen too busy
Noooo ... close this open line in green arrow!!!
Super
How is he writing?😅
I said to my mom if u don't subscribe then I will not allow u to watch the video 😤
nice
omg is he writing mirrored? o.O
Referencing the iPad a bit too much there Nathan. It loses the viewer's focus. Great, straight to the point, informative presentations, 4/5 🔥
I'm just sitting here wondering why the title is Spanish and the guy is speaking English...
im realy surprised how did i used mediwiki api without knowing shit.
Is this guy writing backwards? Good effort, if so..
api
Please, don't use the red market anymore. I could barely see what you wrote down lol.
wow is this guy actually writing backwards?
See ibm.biz/write-backwards
g
mr beast?
This guy writes too much so he loses the flow and after a while it's really irritating to have to wait that long.
Oh no you shouldn't have! Now I'm focused on it
You writing things simultaneously while explaining the concept is bit of a distraction
ever been to maths or physics class?
It's a good video but there's so much downtime of him just writing. This could have been a 5 min video if he didn't have to write everything he's saying...
