OpenAPI Specifications

This page collects the OpenAPI specifications for all LiteAPI services. Use the links below to explore endpoints, schemas, and examples for each API domain. These specs are the source of truth for integration, testing, and client generation.

What are OpenAPI Specifications?

OpenAPI Specifications (often shortened to “OpenAPI docs” or “OAS”) are a standard, machine-readable way to describe a REST API. They define what endpoints exist, how to call them, and what you can expect back.

An OpenAPI spec typically includes:

  • Endpoints and methods (e.g., GET /hotels/search)
  • Parameters (path, query, headers, body)
  • Authentication schemes (API keys, OAuth, etc.)
  • Request and response schemas (data models, field types, required vs optional)
  • Error formats
  • Examples for common use cases

Because it’s standardized, the same OpenAPI file can power interactive docs, code generators, test tools, and more.

OpenAPI Specifications for LiteAPI



Why OpenAPI docs are useful

1. A single source of truth

Instead of relying on scattered README notes or outdated wiki pages, OpenAPI specs act as the contract between LiteAPI and integrators. If the spec says something is supported, it is. If it changes, the contract changes with it.


2. Faster, safer integrations

Developers can quickly answer:

  • Which endpoint should I use?
  • What parameters are required?
  • What does the response look like?
  • What errors should I handle?

That cuts down on guesswork, support tickets, and integration bugs.


3. Interactive exploration

Most OpenAPI specs can be opened in tools like Swagger UI or Redoc, giving a “try it now” experience:

  • Send requests in the browser
  • See real responses
  • Inspect schemas without digging through code

This is especially helpful when you’re learning the API or debugging an integration.


4. Auto-generated SDKs and clients

Because OpenAPI is machine readable, you can generate client libraries in many languages:

  • TypeScript / JavaScript
  • Python
  • Go
  • Java / Kotlin
  • C#
  • …and more.

This means less manual boilerplate and fewer integration mistakes.


5. Better testing and validation

OpenAPI specs enable:

  • Contract testing (is your client matching the API?)
  • Mock servers (simulate LiteAPI responses)
  • Automated validation of requests/responses

It becomes much easier to catch breaking changes early.
