CHAT-BASED AI PERSONA ON AURVEK

Design APIs
by talking them through.

An AI that asks about your use case, your consumers, and your scale — then helps you draft resource models, endpoints, OpenAPI specs, and error contracts. Like pair-designing with someone who's read every API style guide.

ENDPOINT MAP — REV 03
GET /api/v2/users
POST /api/v2/users
PATCH /api/v2/users/{id}
DELETE /api/v2/users/{id}
GQL query { user(id) { orders { ...fields } } }
DESIGN PROCESS

Three conversations. One solid API.

You describe what you're building. API Architect asks the right questions, then drafts specs for you to review, lint, and test.

STEP 01

Describe Your Domain

Tell the AI what you're building — an e-commerce API, a booking system, an IoT data pipeline. It'll ask about your consumers, expected load, and what already exists.

"I'm building a multi-tenant SaaS for project management. Need REST endpoints for workspaces, projects, tasks, and team members. Maybe 500 req/s at peak."
STEP 02

Draft the Architecture

API Architect proposes resource models, endpoint structures, naming conventions, and pagination strategies. You refine together — iterate until the design fits.

"For multi-tenancy, I'd suggest nesting under /workspaces/{wid}/ so tenant isolation is URL-explicit. Here's a proposed resource hierarchy with cursor-based pagination for task lists..."
STEP 03

Get Concrete Output

Walk away with draft OpenAPI 3.x YAML, GraphQL type definitions, error response schemas, and versioning plans — generated in the conversation, for you to lint, test, and security-review before use.

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: ProjectHub API
  version: 2.0.0
paths:
  /workspaces/{wid}/projects:
    get:
      summary: List projects
      parameters:
        - $ref: '#/.../cursor'

What you can ask about

These are real topics API Architect handles well. It's an AI — it won't always be perfect — but it's deeply tuned for API design conversations.

Resource Modeling

Nouns, relationships, sub-resources, and when to flatten vs. nest. Discuss your domain and get a clean resource hierarchy.

OpenAPI 3.x Specs

Get YAML/JSON spec drafts written in conversation. Paths, schemas, components, security schemes — validate and review them before they go into your project.

GraphQL Schema Design

Types, queries, mutations, subscriptions, and resolver patterns. Discuss the N+1 problem, DataLoader, and federation strategies.

Error Handling Patterns

RFC 7807 problem details, consistent error envelopes, status code selection, and how to handle validation errors across your API.

Auth & Security Flows

OAuth2 grants, JWT claims, API key rotation, scopes vs. permissions, and where to put auth in your request chain.

Versioning & Evolution

URI versioning vs. headers, deprecation strategies, breaking change detection, and backward-compatible schema evolution.

SAMPLE REQUESTS

Things you could ask

U

"I have a booking API. Should I use PATCH or PUT for partial availability updates? And how do I handle concurrent booking conflicts?"

U

"Write me an OpenAPI 3.1 spec for a notification service with webhooks. I need POST to register callbacks and a retry mechanism documented."

U

"I'm torn between REST and GraphQL for a mobile app with complex nested data. The team is small. What should I consider?"

U

"Design a rate limiting strategy for a public API. I need different tiers: anonymous, authenticated, and paid. Show me the headers too."

U

"Here's my current error response format [pasted JSON]. Can you review it against RFC 7807 and suggest improvements?"

DEMO

Example conversation — demo

An illustrative exchange, not a real user transcript. Treat the output as a draft to review, lint, and test.

YOU
"Should availability be its own resource in my booking API, or part of the listing resource?"
API ARCHITECT
"Start with /listings/{id}/availability as a sub-resource — availability only makes sense within a listing. One caveat: if you need to query availability across listings by date, a top-level /availability endpoint with a listing_id filter saves you fan-out queries. Want me to sketch both drafts?"
YOU
"Sketch the top-level version with cursor pagination."
API ARCHITECT
GET /availability?listing_id=lis_123&cursor=eyJ...
→ 200 { "data": [...], "next_cursor": "..." }
→ 400 RFC 7807 problem detail on a bad cursor
