Product Updates
Stay up to date with the latest product updates and improvements from Restly. We are constantly working to improve our OpenAPI designer and documentation tools.
Edit in Form View or Spec View
Launched: May 20, 2026
This is our largest change to date. We've changed how Restly works from the core up to enable you to edit your OpenAPI file in form view, or Spec View. This gives you extreme control over your spec file for bespoke use cases, while still giving you the ease of use of a form based editor for most of your API design work.
Project Branches
Launched: May 20, 2026
Branches are now supported in OpenAPI projects. You can maintain, copy, delete multiple versions of your OpenAPI file within the same project.
We are actively working on a Git integration to sync Restly branches to your Git repository. You can push changes directly, or compare branches to see what has changed with your OpenAPI file.
Contact Information
Launched: May 7, 2026
You can now set your API's Contact Information directly from the OpenAPI editor. This information will be included in generated OpenAPI spec files, can be parsed from existing OpenAPI spec files, and can be used by tools that generate support or contact links in documentation sites.
Organize your Endpoints with OpenAPI Tags
Launched: May 6, 2026
Restly now supports OpenAPI Tags. Tags are an excellent way to organize API endpoints into groups. OpenAPI tools often use tags to bundle operations to better organize your API.
Restly now supports creating tags, assigning tags to endpoints, and even propegating tag name changes across your entire API. Restly will also add tags to generated OpenAPI files, and parse tags when creating an API from an existing OAS spec file.
OpenAPI Examples Now Supported for Schemas, Parameters, Request Bodies, and Response Bodies
Launched: May 5, 2026
You can now configure your OpenAPI Examples when designing your API, generating an OpenAPI spec file, or importing an OpenAPI spec file. OpenAPI Examples allow you to define example values for your API's request and response payloads, making it easier to understand and test your API.
You can learn more about examples in our new article, OpenAPI Examples: A Practical Guide.
Default Endpoint Operation Responses
Launched: Apr 30, 2026
Restly now supports Default Responses when designing your API, generating an OpenAPI spec file, or importing an OpenAPI spec file. Default Responses allow you to define a response schema that is a catch-all for any status codes not explicitly defined.
Endpoint Operation IDs
Launched: Apr 29, 2026
You can now view and set Operation IDs from Restly's API designer. operationId is a unique identifier that should remain consistent across API versions. It allows SDKs, code generators, and documentation tools to reliably identify and link to specific API operations, even as other aspects of the API evolve.
anyOf, oneOf, allOf, Data Types
Launched: Apr 21, 2026
You can now use anyOf, oneOf, and allOf to combine schemas for more complex data structures and type systems. Restly's interface allows you to do this without needing to write any raw JSON or YAML schema.
