OpenAPI launch checklist

A practical pre-launch checklist for turning an OpenAPI spec into marketplace copy, curl examples, a Postman collection, and cleaner docs.

Run the Launch Pack API All resources

Before publishing

Confirm the OpenAPI file imports cleanly and uses the production server URL you want buyers to test.
Check that every public operation has a clear summary and operationId.
Generate or review endpoint summaries, curl examples, and a Postman collection from the same source spec.
Review generated marketplace copy as a first draft, not final positioning.
Add support contact, rate limits, pricing, and any privacy or data-retention notes before sending traffic.

API launch

A buyer can see the request path, method, auth model, and expected response without leaving the page.
The example uses realistic fields instead of empty placeholder JSON.
RapidAPI, docs, and the public website all describe the same endpoint behavior.
The health check and one paid-path smoke test pass through the marketplace proxy.
