How to update API blueprints with your AI

Connect Apiary to your agent to manage documentation through chat. You can pull existing specs, modify them, and republish them without leaving your AI client.

Short answer

How can I update my Apiary blueprints using AI?

Your agent pulls your current API specifications, edits the content based on your instructions, and then republishes the updated version. This keeps your documentation in sync with your code. You'll see how the agent handles the data below.

The outcomes of this task.

Where your updates land.

Once connected, your agent handles the heavy lifting of spec management.

SYNCED

Current API specs

The agent pulls the latest version of your blueprint so it works with the most recent data.

MODIFIED

Updated documentation

Your agent applies structural or descriptive changes to the specification as you request them.

LIVE

Published blueprints

The agent pushes the finished work back to Apiary to keep your documentation live and accurate.

REVIEW

Human oversight

You decide when a change is ready to be published, ensuring the AI doesn't push broken specs.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent follows a loop of reading, editing, and pushing data.

  1. Fetch the spec

    The agent looks up the specific API blueprint you want to work on to see its current state.

    get_api

  2. Apply changes

    The agent rewrites the specification to include new endpoints, parameters, or descriptions.

    get_api

  3. Push updates

    The agent sends the modified blueprint back to the Apiary service.

    publish_blueprint

  4. Confirm status

    The agent verifies the update was successful so you know the documentation is live.

    publish_blueprint

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my entire API project?

    No. The agent only has tools to get and publish blueprints, not to delete projects.

  • 02

    Does the AI publish changes automatically?

    No. You must explicitly tell the agent to publish the updated blueprint after it makes changes.

  • 03

    Can I use this to create a brand new API from scratch?

    The agent can draft the content, but it relies on existing blueprints to perform updates and publishing.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my API implementation code?

    No. This connector only interacts with your documentation in Apiary, not your actual codebase.

  • 05

    How does the agent know which API to update?

    You specify the name or ID of the API in your prompt, and the agent uses that to find the right spec.
