APIs in the Agentic Era: Designing, Testing, and Governing AI-Ready APIs with Swagger

Delivered in partnership with API Days, this webinar explores how AI introduces speed and unpredictability into software systems —and why that makes API quality and governance more critical than ever. The session introduces the 2025 AI-Enabled API Lifecycle Whitepaper and shows how teams can maintain control and quality while adopting AI-driven workflows.

We’ll start with a short theory segment on the evolving challenges and opportunities AI brings to modern API development, including the need for stronger governance, automated quality checks, and AI-ready APIs that serve both humans and agents. Then we’ll move into practical demonstrations showing how Swagger tools support real-world API workflows that integrate design, validation, and lifecycle governance.

In this session you’ll see a live Swagger workflow that illustrates:

• AI-assisted API design by generating or improving OpenAPI definitions from natural-language prompts.
• Automated validation and governance checks against organizational API standards.
• Mock service generation from OpenAPI definitions for early consumer feedback.
• AI-powered contract test generation from API descriptions or code samples.
• CI/CD quality gates using validation and contract testing results.
• Centralized API documentation and discoverability for reuse and control.

This webinar is ideal for API architects, developers, QA professionals, and technical leaders who want to harness AI to speed delivery without sacrificing control, standards, or consistency.
