You are viewing the documentation for Blueriq 17. Documentation for other versions is available in our documentation directory.
By default, all exposed operations of rest services and exposed functions witin a project are exposed in an OpenAPI feed.
How to use the OpenAPI feed
The OpenAPI feed is exposed by the runtime in JSON format. Read more about how to get the URL and the supported versions here: OpenAPI.
For a human readable version during development, you could paste the JSON into tools such as https://editor-next.swagger.io/.
Ultimately, you can use the specification to add your Blueriq webservice to an API store so that it can be consumed easily by other parties.

Blueriq Function Flows
In the Function tab of a Function Flow, you have the ability to specify documentation for the function in general and for each input and output parameter. Use the OpenAPI icon to do so.
The general function documentation is available in the OpenAPI feed as the description of the operation. The parameter's documentation is specified in the OpenAPI feed in the body schema definition.
Use of CommonMark in OpenAPI descriptions
The OpenAPI specification supports the use of CommonMark (v0.27) markdown throughout descriptions fields allowing for rich text formatting.
Use a double newline (2x enter) in an OpenAPI description field in Blueriq Encore to add structure to the descriptions. This will start a new paragraph in the feed.
