Updated Integration with Swagger UI

At TimelyBill, we understand that service providers need flexibility and scalability to ensure long-term success.

We're excited to release new features, with expanded integration of Swagger UI into our API implementation process.

What is Swagger UI?

Swagger UI is a powerful tool for REST API documentation that provides a user-friendly interface for developers to interact with and explore APIs. It simplifies API consumption and enhances collaboration between development and business teams.

TimelyBill and Swagger

At TimelyBill, we have consistently enabled customers to extend our system's capabilities using Configurable REST Actions ↗️. Now, with the integration of Swagger UI, spinning up new APIs is even easier.

Seamless API Expansion

  • User-Friendly Interface: Swagger UI offers an intuitive and interactive interface, allowing developers to visualize and understand the structure of TimelyBill APIs. This translates to a more efficient API integration process for your business.
  • Rapid API Prototyping: TimelyBill's integration with Swagger facilitates the rapid prototyping of new APIs. Developers can quickly test and iterate, ensuring that the final API aligns perfectly with the specific needs of your telecom business.
  • Real-time Documentation: Swagger's API documentation is always up to date. Developers have access to accurate and relevant information, reducing the likelihood of errors during integration.
  • Collaboration and Consistency: Integrating Swagger UI promotes cooperation between development and business teams. It ensures everyone is on the same page, boosting consistency and efficiency within your organization.

API Methods

API GET, PUT, and POST are HTTP request methods used to interact with our web server.

  • GET: Retrieves data from the server. It does not modify anything—just fetches information.
  • POST: Sends new data to the server to create a resource. It is often used to submit forms or upload files.
  • PUT: Updates an existing resource or creates it if it doesn’t exist. It typically replaces the entire resource with new data.
