🎯 Purpose

The AutoGenSocial platform automates social media content creation, planning, and publishing across multiple platforms. This contracts repository:

1. Defines Data Models: Standardizes how brands, content plans, and posts are structured
2. Specifies APIs: Documents all service endpoints, request/response formats, and authentication
3. Enables Integration: Provides clear contracts for clients and services to integrate with the platform
4. Facilitates Development: Enables parallel development of frontend and backend services
5. Ensures Consistency: Maintains data integrity across distributed microservices

📝 Versioning Strategy

This repository follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) principles:

Version Format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

• MAJOR: Breaking changes to schemas or APIs (e.g., removing required fields, changing data types)
• MINOR: Backward-compatible additions (e.g., new optional fields, new endpoints)
• PATCH: Backward-compatible fixes (e.g., documentation updates, clarifications)

API Versioning

APIs use URL-based versioning:

• Current version: /v1
• Future versions: /v2, /v3, etc.

Schema Versioning

Schemas include version information in their $id field:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "$id": "https://autogensocial.com/schemas/brand.json",
  "title": "Brand"
}

Breaking Changes

When introducing breaking changes:

1. Increment the MAJOR version
2. Create a new API version (e.g., /v2)
3. Maintain the previous version for at least 6 months
4. Provide migration guides in the docs/ folder
5. Tag the release in Git with the version number

Deprecation Policy

Features marked for deprecation:

1. Will be announced at least 3 months in advance
2. Will include migration path documentation
3. Will be supported for at least 6 months after deprecation notice
4. Will be removed only in MAJOR version updates

🚀 How to Use These Contracts

For API Consumers (Frontend/Client Applications)

1. Review OpenAPI Specs: Browse the OpenAPI specifications in the openapi/ directory
2. Generate Client SDKs: Use tools like OpenAPI Generator to create client libraries

   # Example: Generate TypeScript client for Content API
   openapi-generator-cli generate \
     -i openapi/content-api.yaml \
     -g typescript-axios \
     -o ./generated/content-api-client
   

3. Validate Requests: Use the schemas to validate your API requests before sending
4. Handle Responses: Parse responses according to the defined schemas

For API Providers (Backend Services)

1. Implement Endpoints: Build services that conform to the OpenAPI specifications
2. Validate Data: Use JSON schemas to validate incoming data

   // Example: Validate brand data in Node.js
   const Ajv = require('ajv');
   const ajv = new Ajv();
   const schema = require('./schemas/brand.json');
   const validate = ajv.compile(schema);
   const valid = validate(brandData);
   

3. Generate Server Stubs: Use OpenAPI tools to generate server boilerplate
4. Auto-generate Documentation: Tools like Swagger UI can render interactive API docs

For Testing

1. Schema Validation: Validate test data against JSON schemas
2. Contract Testing: Ensure API responses match OpenAPI specifications
3. Mock Servers: Generate mock servers from OpenAPI specs for testing

   # Example: Run a mock server with Prism
   prism mock openapi/content-api.yaml
   

For Documentation

1. Interactive Docs: Use Swagger UI or ReDoc to render interactive documentation

   # Serve with Swagger UI
   npx @redocly/openapi-cli preview-docs openapi/content-api.yaml
   

2. API Reference: Include OpenAPI specs in developer documentation
3. Code Examples: Generate code examples in multiple languages from specs

🛠️ Development Workflow

Making Changes

2. Create a feature branch

   git checkout -b feature/add-new-field
   

3. Make changes to schemas or OpenAPI specs

   • Edit JSON schema files in schemas/
   • Update OpenAPI YAML files in openapi/

4. Validate your changes

   # Validate JSON schemas
   ajv validate -s schemas/brand.json -d examples/brand-example.json
   
   # Validate OpenAPI specs
   npx @redocly/openapi-cli lint openapi/content-api.yaml
   

5. Update version numbers (if needed)

   • Update API version in OpenAPI info.version
   • Tag release after merging

6. Submit a pull request
