Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Faster time-to-market with API-first
When it comes to Flask, in particular, there’re plenty of choices. And in fairness, not all frameworks are created equal. You’ve got flasgger, restx (successor of flask-restplus), flask-RESTful, and flask-smorest, to mention a few. How do you choose among those???

OAS is the most crtitical tool for API Developers
Common frameworks for building APIs in Python are the Django Rest Framework and Flask-RESTPLUS. Django developers can add the django-rest-swagger module via pip, whereas Flask-RESTPLUS has Swagger support built in. Both are very powerful in terms of automation, so they do not require a lot of configuration.

Flask-RESTplus CORS request not adding headers into the response
I have an issue trying to setup CORS for my REST API. I'm currently using the Flask-Restplus package. Here's what my endpoints look like :

Serving Flask-RESTPlus on https server
I have been googling, and i ran into discussions of this issue.And this seemed to be the fix that could work without me having to change the library or configurations on the server.

Show HN: OpenAPI DevTools – Chrome ext. that generates an API spec as you browse
I saw your sibling comment about "keeping it simple," however that is a bit counter to "generates OpenAPI specifications" since those for sure are not limited to just application/json request/response bodies
I wanted to draw your attention to "normal" POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/3.1.0/vers...> and its multipart/form-data friend <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/3.1.0/vers...>
The latter is likely problematic, but the former is in wide use still, including, strangely enough, the AWS API, although some of their newer services do have an application/json protocol
I know that's a lot of words, but the tl;dr would be that if you want your extension to be application/json only, then changing the description to say "OpenAPI specifications for application/json handshakes" would help the consumer be on the same page with your goals

How to Connect a FastAPI Server to PostgreSQL and Deploy on GCP Cloud Run
Since FastAPI is based on OpenAPI, at this point you can also use the automatically generated docs. There are multiple options, and two are included by default. Try them out by accessing the following URLs:

Write a scalable OpenAPI specification for a Node.js API
This approach requires a constant context switch and is clearly not productive. Here, the OpenAPI Specification can help; you might already have it, but is it scalable? In this article, we’ll learn how to create an OpenAPI Specification document that is readable, scalable, and follows the principle of extension without modifying the existing document.

OpenAPI 3.1 - The Gnarly Bits
Phil Sturgeon, who along with Ben Hutton and Henry Andrews from the JSON Schema community, helped drive the push to full JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 compliance, has written a blog post for the official OpenAPIs.org website on how to transition your OAS documents from v3.0.x to v3.1.0.

Documenting Node.js API using Swagger
In this article, we will be learning how to document API written in Node.js using a tool called Swagger. Swagger allows you to describe the structure of your APIs so that machines can read them. The ability of APIs to describe their own structure is the root of all awesomeness in Swagger. Why is it so great? Well, by reading our API’s structure, swagger can automatically build beautiful and interactive API documentation. It can also automatically generate client libraries for your API in many languages and explore other possibilities like automated testing. Swagger does this by asking our API to return a YAML or JSON that contains a detailed description of your entire API. This file is essentially a resource listing of our API which adheres to OpenAPI Specifications.

Getting started with REST APIs
You may encounter APIs described as RESTful that do not meet these criteria. This is often the result of bottom-up coding, where top-down design should have been used. Another thing to watch out for is the absence of a schema. There are alternatives, but OpenAPI is a common choice with good tools support. If you don't have a schema, you can create one by building a Postman collection.

Automatic request validation at the edge with OpenAPI and Fastly
The principle behind the OpenAPI Specification (OAS – the industry’s most popular API specification format) is similar. It’s supposed to act as a blueprint for describing RESTful APIs.

How would I describe a webhook, as part of my API collection?
OpenAPI 3.1 supports webhooks. It's not widely supported yet by implementations, but it's definitely there. https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/examples/v3.1/webhook-example.yaml

Better Fastly API clients with OpenAPI Generator
The Fastly API is huge. We have lots of customers who want to interact with it using their chosen programming language but our small set of manually maintained clients was not sufficient to handle the job of our ever-evolving API. We needed a way to scale up our API client support, and OpenAPI was the answer.
