#GlueCon 2014 Notes: APIs.json and API Discovery on the Web – Steven Willmott and Kin Lane
APIs.json and API Discovery on the Web – Steven Willmott and Kin Lane APIs.json is the equivalent of a robots.txt or sitemap.xml files for web APIs The goal is to provide additional community support to supplement ProgrammableWeb’s API directory that is dependent on manual curation APIs.json can be provided either by the API provider on the same domain (authoritative) or by the community (non-authoritative) – http://apisjson.org APIs.io is a place to index what it out there – http://apis.io No JSON schema for APIs.json yet, but coming soon APIs.io has a meta-API, allowing you to search and browse the directory listings Provides linking to Swagger definition, allowing for easy discovery and dynamic client generation
