# About our API documentation

## Introduction

Our API documentation is generated from an OpenAPI specification, which means:  &#x20;

* It's always up-to-date. Patchworks API documentation is synced with releases, so you’re never out of the loop.
* You can access integrated testing features. With strong testing capabilities and a user-friendly environment, this documentation set is your go-to destination for API information.
* The API reference sits alongside the product documentation, so everything is searchable in one place. &#x20;

## The Patchworks Core Postman collection

If you prefer working with Postman, you'll find our Postman documentation at the link below:
