The GitHub Repository API Discovery integration allows FireTail users to scan their GitHub repositories for OpenAPI specifications or generate them through static code analysis. By installing the FireTail GitHub App, you can automate the discovery of API definitions within your repositories, ensuring complete visibility.
This integration simplifies API management by letting you extract and monitor API resources directly from your codebase.
Key benefits:
- Automate the discovery of OpenAPI specifications in GitHub repositories.
- Generate OpenAPI specifications via static code analysis for supported languages.
- Centralize API management and visibility in the FireTail platform.
Once the FireTail GitHub App is installed, the integration scans your GitHub repositories for OpenAPI specifications. It can analyze repository files to generate specifications.
You can choose to scan individual repositories or all repositories associated with your account. FireTail will pull the discovered APIs into the platform and group them under the selected application.
The integration supports continuous scanning, allowing you to set the scan frequency to monitor repositories for changes or new APIs.
To set up this integration, you will need:
- A GitHub account or organization with repositories to scan.
- Admin access to install the FireTail GitHub App.
- OpenAPI specifications or relevant code in your repositories.
After installing the FireTail GitHub App and selecting your repositories, set up the integration in the FireTail platform by enabling features like AI-enhanced OpenAPI generation, and choosing the application for grouping APIs.
