About

This repository contains the specification of the Materials MarketPlace Standard App API. The API is used as basis for the interaction between apps on the Materials MarketPlace platform.

This repository contains the API version: 0.1.0.

Specification

The repository contains both a programmatic definition of the API (implemented via Pydantic and FastAPI) within the marketplace_standard_app_api.main module as well as an equivalent OpenAPI representation in the openapi.json file. Programmatic checks are performed to ensure that both representations remain synchronized and conflict-free. In case that the definition within the Python module and the OpenAPI JSON-file are conflicting with each other for whatever reason, the former must be considered authoritive.

Tip: You can use the marketplace-standard-app-api show command to generate the OpenAPI file from the Python module (requires the cli extra).
