Import files describing your API

In the example above, we kept things simple and did not import a file describing the API. If you have one, we strongly suggest you start by importing your file. This will populate many of the details related to the API for you.

You can import the data in the following formats:

1. OpenAPI - The is an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) document commonly used to describe REST APIs. Files of type JSON, X-YAML, and YAML can be uploaded.
2. Postman Collection - JSON files can be uploaded.
3. GraphQL Schema - You add your schema using introspection, or by uploading a schema file of type JSON, TXT, GRAPHQL, or GRAPHQLS.
4. Kafka - You do not import a file, but instead configure your Kafka API. See Kafka APIs (Beta).

5. Click Add API Project. Your My Sample API Project should be added to your Personal Account.

6. In the sidebar, select Hub Listing. You can then view and modify your API Project's details.
