Accessing REST API information
Guidewire designs its REST APIs to be self-documenting at runtime. To further this end,
Guidewire provides the following useful tools:
- Embedded Swagger UI tool that provides information on each published REST API and its supported HTTP operations
- Default API endpoint /apis that provides the list of available REST APIs
Additional Guidewire tools
In addition to the already listed tools for gathering information about the REST APIs,
Guidewire also provides the following tools that provide further API documentation and
testing:
| Tool | More information |
|---|---|
| A gwb build tool for externalizing API schemas | Exporting the API schema |
| A Guidewire Profiler for REST APIs | Profiling REST APIs |
Third-party tools
Guidewire recommends that you use a third-party tool such as Postman to
view and test the REST APIs that you create. You can download Postman from the following web site:
