About

This repository publishes the OpenAPI specification for the OpenAI API. The spec describes the API's endpoints, authentication, parameters, and request and response schemas.

openapi.yaml and openapi.json are generated artifacts synchronized automatically from upstream source. See the contribution policy and feedback process.

Use it to generate typed clients, build API explorers, configure testing tools, or work with the OpenAI API in any OpenAPI-compatible workflow.

Contributing

We welcome issue reports and suggestions from everyone. Use the feedback process to contribute through issues. Pull requests are limited to OpenAI team members; external contributors should use issues, including for documentation or asset suggestions. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full policy.

OpenAI maintainers make specification corrections in the upstream source using the internal OpenAPI authoring guide. The publication workflow updates this repository's generated YAML and JSON automatically; direct edits here do not update that source.

OpenAI team members can submit pull requests here for repository policy, documentation, and assets, subject to required review.

Feedback

Found an incorrect schema, a missing field, or another problem with the specification? Search the existing issues and, if it has not already been reported, open a new issue.

When reporting a non-security problem, include the affected revision, endpoint and HTTP method or schema, the expected behavior, and a minimal example using synthetic data. Remove credentials, customer data, and private URLs from examples and diagnostic output. The OpenAI team will make a best-effort attempt to triage and resolve spec issues.

Report suspected vulnerabilities privately using SECURITY.md, not in public issues or pull requests.
