Heading to India for the first time to speak at #apidays India 2026. Sat down with the @specmatic.bsky.social & apidays teams ahead of the conference to talk #Arazzo, agentic systems, and why most impressive demos don't make it to production. Full interview here 🇮🇳 confengine.com/conferences/...

One of OpenAPI's unsung heroes is its ability to be extended elegantly. You're gonna love @apievangelist.com's article on extensions. Also in this dispatch: Gin, the HTTP framework for Go, Upyo for sending email, Leaf Wiki, and the HTTP OPTIONS method. apisyouwonthate.com/newsletter/e...

Scoring your API for AI-readiness tells you where you are. But what do you improve, in what order, and how do you know the result is better and non-breaking? Our 𝙟𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙘-𝙖𝙥𝙞-𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 #agentskill does. A Structured loop, non-breaking changes. Three artifacts out: revised spec, Overlay file, changelog.

Most of the healthcare APIs I profile describe themselves one endpoint at a time, but nobody actually integrates one endpoint at a time. The real work is a sequence: authenticate, register a patient, kick off a query across the national networks. apievangelist.com/2026/06/29/m...

We've an evergreen home for the Jentic Tech Talk newsletter. Issue05: API AI-Readiness Scorecard now on GitHub Actions. RFC 10008 closes a 25-year HTTP gap. Bryam Vega's Arazzo deep-dive is worth your time. Plus Erik on MCP through the lens of what you've already built. jentic.com/newsletter/t...

We've just shipped an #agentskill for the @jentic.bsky.social API AI-Readiness Scorecard. Your coding agent can score #OpenAPI docs for AI-readiness itself. Claude Code: /𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘱𝘪-𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥@𝘫𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤-𝘢𝘱𝘪-𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥 Vercel: 𝘯𝘱𝘹 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘥𝘥 𝘫𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤/𝘫𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤-𝘢𝘱𝘪-𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥 2-minute walkthrough 👇

Signal #6 in #TheWeeklySignal series: Authentication Strength An agent doesn't just need to know auth is required. It needs to understand how to authenticate safely: scoped, renewable, machine-readable. Does your OpenAPI description say enough? Three APIs. Very different answers. 👇

Signal #5 in #TheWeeklySignal series: Response Coverage When an agent calls your API, it needs to understand what comes back. Three examples, very different results. 👇 This week's question: beyond the success case, how much of your API's response landscape have you actually documented?

As #AI agents gain more capabilities, everyone's paying much closer attention to their API estate. But how do you ensure the #APIs you deliver actually cater for agentic consumers? Here's Erik Wilde's top tip for delivering AI-ready APIs

Speaking at #APIDays / Future of Software Technologies NYC next week on: 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗣𝗜: 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲 I’ll explore Arazzo 1.1.0, including AsyncAPI support. If you’re around NYC and want to chat OpenAPI/Arazzo, or tooling at @jentic.bsky.social, come say hello 👋

Signal #2 in The Weekly Signal series: Error Standardisation #RFC9457 First #API interactions rarely start clean. The question isn’t “did it fail?”, it’s, "Did the error tell you enough to recover?" Three APIs. Very different results. 👇
