This repository holds the API reference available at https://api.mattermost.com.

The Mattermost API reference uses the OpenAPI standard and the ReDoc document generator.

All documentation is available under the terms of a Creative Commons License.

We're accepting pull requests! See something that could be documented better or is missing documentation? Make a PR and we'll gladly accept it.

All the documentation is written in YAML and found in the v4/source directories. APIv4 documentation is in the v4 directory. APIs for Playbooks are retrieved from GitHub at build time and integrated into the final YAML file.

• When adding a new route, please add it to the correct file. For example, a channel route will go in channels.yaml.
• To add a new tag, please do so in introduction.yaml
• Definitions should be added to definitions.yaml

There is no strict style guide but please try to follow the example of the existing documentation.

To build the full YAML, run make build and it will be output to v4/html/static/mattermost-openapi-v4.yaml. This will also check syntax using swagger-cli.

To test locally, run make build, make run and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080. For any updates to the source files, re-run the same commands.

Deployment is handled automatically by our Jenkins CLI machine. When a pull request is merged it will automatically be deployed to https://api.mattermost.com.
