Introducing the Box OpenAPI (Swagger) Spec

API Studio


We're excited to share that our new OpenAPI specification is now available on Github! With our new OpenAPI spec, we’re able to define a standard, language-agnostic interface for developers to interact with the Box Content API. Using our new spec, you can also generate client libraries in your preferred development language and visualize our API with tools like API Studio or Swagger UI.
