This module provides an overview of the steps involved in creating an API in Frends. However, the detailed instructions for each step will be covered in other modules of the learning path. UI screenshots are provided to give you an idea of what each step looks like, but you don't need to study them in detail. You'll get a detailed walkthrough for each step in other modules of this learning path. The goal is to help you identify the screen and associate it with a step in the API creation process.

You can also view different Frends product tours in the modules to see the steps required to complete specific tasks.

It's assumed that the API design steps have already been covered, the OpenAPI specification for the API has been created, and other necessary decisions have been made.

To proceed with this step, you will need to have the API specification ready. You can create the API specification in the Frends Editor or use a different editor to create the specification and copy the code to Frends. Frends supports both JSON and YAML formats.

After saving the API specification, the next step is to set the endpoints and operations.
