WebEx Calling REST OpenAPI scheme definition (IDL) file

The WebEx REST API developer documentation was generated from an OpenAPI/Swagger definition file. This up-to-date IDL files are necessary to be as accessible as the human documentation, because they can be used to generate client calling code, which can be checked by the compiler.

The alternative is for your developers to manually code the API calls, like in the stone age, or to reverse engineer to IDL from the human-faced documentation, which is laborious, error prone and not updated with the latest changes.

Please provide URLs for the reference schema versions of WebEx REST APIs.

Obs: this client APIs are generally packaged in a language specific SDK, but the WebEx Java SDK is years out of date with the current API.

Yes, this is absolutely required. For Webex Calling and Webex CallCenter a specification is required such as OpenAPI specification JSON or YAML file. Or nswag. There are many changes to thise APIs and it is impossible to track changes or update existing code or even to track what has been updated. Manually tracking changes to the the API web site is impossible.
