Import Any OpenAPI Spec
Bring your existing OpenAPI 3.x spec and Zuplo automatically creates routes, policies, and documentation.
Standards
OpenAPI-Native API Gateway
Define your API using the industry-standard OpenAPI specification. Import existing specs, generate routes, and keep documentation always in sync.
Always-Accurate Docs
Your developer portal documentation is generated directly from your OpenAPI spec — never out of date.
Request Validation
Validate incoming requests against your schema automatically, rejecting malformed requests before they reach your backend.
Standards
API-First Workflow
Design your API with an OpenAPI spec, then import it into Zuplo. Routes are created automatically, and documentation is generated instantly. Changes to your spec propagate to your gateway and docs with a single deployment.

Standards
OpenAPI Request/Response Validation
Zuplo can validate requests against your OpenAPI schema at the edge — checking required fields, data types, and allowed values — before the request reaches your backend. This reduces invalid requests reaching your origin.

Your developer portal is powered by your OpenAPI spec. Add rich descriptions, examples, and x-extensions to your spec and they appear immediately in your documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about OpenAPI Support.
Which OpenAPI versions does Zuplo support?
Zuplo supports OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1. OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger) specs can be upgraded using standard tooling before import.
Can I use Zuplo without an OpenAPI spec?
Yes. You can define routes manually in Zuplo's portal or configuration files. An OpenAPI spec is recommended but not required.
Does Zuplo enforce OpenAPI schemas on requests?
Yes. The request validation policy checks incoming requests against your OpenAPI schema and rejects non-compliant requests with a 400 response. This catches client errors before they reach your backend.
Can I my Zuplo configuration as an OpenAPI spec?
Yes. Zuplo can your current gateway configuration as an OpenAPI spec, which you can use with other tooling in your API development workflow.
