API Specifications

API Blueprint

API Blueprint is a Markdown-based specification language for describing web APIs, originally created by Apiary (acquired by Oracle). The spec is MIT licensed but development effectively stalled after Oracle's acquisition of Apiary; it is documented here for completeness as historical context for the API specification landscape.
