aid: scalar-api url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/scalar-api/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Scalar kind: company description: Scalar is an open-source (MIT) API platform built on the OpenAPI standard. Its core is a self-hostable API Reference renderer that turns an OpenAPI or AsyncAPI document into a beautiful, interactive reference with a built-in API testing tool, plus a fully open-source, offline-first API Client (a Postman alternative available as a desktop app and in the browser). On top of the open-source components Scalar runs a hosted SaaS platform (dashboard.scalar.com) providing an API Registry that stores and versions OpenAPI documents behind a public read CDN (registry.scalar.com), a Docs product for developer portals with Git Sync and Markdown/MDX, SDK generation for TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, PHP, C#, and Ruby, hosted MCP servers, and an AI Agent for chatting with APIs. Scalar is the default API documentation UI for many frameworks (FastAPI, Hono, Elysia, NestJS, Laravel, and others). Publishing to the hosted registry is done through the Scalar CLI; the registry read surface and the Galaxy example API are public over HTTPS. image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - API Documentation - API Client - Open Source - Developer Tools - API Reference - OpenAPI created: '2026-07-11' modified: '2026-07-11' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: scalar-api:scalar-api-reference name: Scalar API Reference tags: - API Reference - API Documentation - Open Source - OpenAPI image: https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/shared/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg humanURL: https://guides.scalar.com/scalar/scalar-api-references/getting-started properties: - url: https://guides.scalar.com/scalar/scalar-api-references/getting-started type: Documentation - url: https://github.com/scalar/scalar/blob/main/packages/api-reference/README.md type: SourceCode description: Open-source (MIT) renderer that turns an OpenAPI/Swagger or AsyncAPI document into an interactive API reference with a built-in request-testing panel and multi-language code samples.
