## Pricing

from $0.05 / openapi comparison completed

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## OpenAPI Consumer Breakage Gate

Catch **consumer-breaking OpenAPI changes** before they ship.

Compare a live HTTPS OpenAPI **3.0/3.1** specification against a stored baseline (or an explicit baseline URL) and get actionable findings for CI, release gates, or scheduled monitoring.

### What you get

- Deterministic findings for removed operations, newly required inputs, response contract removals, enum removals, incompatible types, and narrowed bounds
- Apify **Dataset** rows for each finding
- Key-value artifacts: `SUMMARY`, `SARIF`, and `JUnit`
- Named baselines that persist across scheduled runs

### Safe defaults

- Only **HTTPS** URLs you supply are fetched
- No credentials in v1
- External `$ref` origins default to the specification origin
- Failed downloads and invalid specs fail clearly and do **not** overwrite a baseline
- Store default input uses the public Petstore demo so daily health checks stay green

### Baseline modes

| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| `auto` | Create the first baseline for a `monitorId`, then compare on later runs without overwriting |
| `compareOnly` | Compare only; error if no baseline exists |
| `accept` | Write reports, then replace the stored baseline |

If `monitorId` is omitted in `auto` mode, a stable id is derived from the specification URL.

### Pricing

Pay per event:

- **OpenAPI comparison completed** — charged once after successful report artifacts are written
- Failed input/fetch/baseline-missing runs are not charged for the comparison event

### Authorization

Only analyze specifications you own or are authorized to access. Automated findings are compatibility signals, not legal or security certification.

### Support

Built by **Quiet Relay**. Issues and feedback welcome on the Actor Issues tab.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "specUrl": "https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json",
    "monitorId": "petstore-v3-demo"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("quietrelay/openapi-consumer-breakage-gate").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
