Re-usable Responses & blocks of data across multiple APIs

[miguel-pinto-2]

Hi,

I am exploring apicurio studio and I was wondering if its possible to refer to reusable blocks of data across APIs.
I see the option to use reusable data blocks defined in the current API but I was not able to see how could be done across multiple files?

If yes, how?

ex: if we have API error responses standardised across all our APIs, we would create those are reusable data "somewhere" and then refer to them on all our APIs

many thanks in advance

Hi @miguel-pinto-2 - sorry for the late response, I've been out for awhile. :(

Yes, this can be done in Apicurio Studio. You obviously must first create an API that contains the data types or responses you would like to re-use across multiple APIs. Once you have done that, then you can import some or all of those types. To do that, click the little "box with an arrow" icon in the Data Types or Responses section of the left nav:

That will bring up a little wizard you can use to import what you want to use:

Once you have successfully imported a data type or response, they will be marked as such in the list:
