We Talk "API" One Day https://apidesignmatters.substack.com/p/we-talk-api-one-day :
I’m “going meta”. I’m not going to talk about how languages (like the OpenAPI Specification and JSON Schema) describe specific #API concepts and artifacts, but rather how we talk about APIs themselves. In other words, I want to explore the Ubiquitous Language of APIS.

Thank You Erik Wilde for having me back on your "Getting APIs to Work" Youtube channel and for highlighting my "API Design Matters" substack and my "Language of APIs" series.

Today, I begin a deeper dive into expressing API Security with OpenAPI, by exploring the notation of security schemes and security requirement objects, with some commentary on the tradeoffs between conciseness vs. consistency, and what can and cannot be expressed with OpenAPI when it comes to keeping your API secure. #TheLanguageOfAPIs #OpenAPI #APIs #APIDesignMatters https://open.substack.com/pub/apidesignmatters/p/understanding-the-language-of-api?r=224cwh&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
