On addition to our support for Swagger 2.0 since 2017, our RESTful Adapter for SAP PO now supports Open API 3.0 (https://www.openapis.org).

The OpenAPI standard has become “the” broadly adopted standard for describing public or private APIs. Even SAP PO (above 7.5) comes with an adapter to support API “style” integration, developers still burden a lot of detailed configuration and development work to adhere an Open API definition.

Our adapter makes this extremely simple as the adapter can create an OpenAPI compatible service in SAP PO with a few clicks. Only implementation of the API with the usual development tools is left to the developer.

Open API definitions can be used in an “API first” approach to generate an ESR interface. The adapter can present the API via Swagger Console as OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) or OpenAPI 3.0 description for consumers, testers or developers.

An API changes or get extended. Very simple, just regenerated and start testing with the included Swagger UI.
