It was nice to see Juan Ayala's article on using our Open APIs to build an integration with SAP Commerce: www.theaemmaven.com/post/connect.... Seeing feedback from those who are out in the field using these tools for their implementations is so valuable to us.

"I used to think OpenAPI was the best way to define REST APIs. And I bet you think that way, too. After all, OpenAPI has so many benefits that it's easy to ignore its drawbacks—until you feel them, that is."

An exciting week here for the AEM Assets API team. We're releasing another stable API today that will allow you to import assets from a URL into your DAM. This will be a big win for a lot of our customers! You can find the API spec at developer.adobe.com/experience-c...

Today we released a new API to manage your asset relations. Check it out at developer.adobe.com/experience-c....
I'm excited to announce the OpenAPI for AEM Assets Author is now GA! Check out the stable API spec at developer.adobe.com/experience-c.... We'll be releasing new stable and experimental APIs soon, so reach out if you would like to partner with Adobe as an early adopter or have any feedback.
Great article by @lornajane.net on using $refs for OpenAPI specs. We take this a step farther for AEM APIs. Many of the $refs that we reuse across our teams get stored in a git repository that teams can include as a submodule, making our APIs more consistent. thenewstack.io/openapi-how-....
APIs connect systems.
Bluesky connects people.
We're here for both. 👋
I've been saying this for a while, but the introduction of AI will make APIs more important than ever. This article from @swiber.dev makes that point nicely: www.layered.dev/mcp-the-ulti....
@philsturgeon.com and @alexanderkaran.bsky.social put out an article today on enforcing API consistency with a large team at apisyouwonthate.com/p/75e05d1e-e.... These practices align with what we do in the AEM team for keeping our APIs consistent. What practices would you add to the list?
Every day I feel a little more like we have elected the villains from Captain Planet into the White House.
In apisyouwonthate.com/blog/openapi..., @philsturgeon.com has some nice things to say about Redocly CLI. We've had good luck with it as a bundler and decorator for our APIs. We've recently started adding Spectral for linting, and I find it to be more robust and extensible than Redocly OOTB.
Solid acronym…
Ooh, cool science gear!

I live in Altadena. It would be pretty hard to beat January…
I saw this graphic today in axeut.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com/mk/mr/sh/1t6... and I thought that it summarized January pretty well for me. TGIF - Thank God it's February.

They need to hear from you.
The weather here is intense today. There is a fire about five miles from us that is making me real nervous…
Zuck’s announcement today just underscores the importance of platforms like Bluesky. I’m a little concerned that we may be moving into a more fragmented world in social media, though, further cementing the echo chambers that are already there.
Lots of folks talking about donating to Wikipedia. If you’d like to make a bigger impact, sign up to make a recurring monthly donation! That way, when everyone has forgotten about Elon and donations aren’t flooding in, you can still help.
DUCK!
Looks like I’ll be digging into some work related to GenAI over the next several months. I’m excited to learn. What resources would you recommend for someone getting started?
All of the cards are just Don Draper drinking whiskey.
So you’re saying that, with enough delta-v, our carousel could be a spaceship…
Your garnish almost looks like a few polyhedral dice. That would be a fun drink for a DnD session :)
We’re at an interesting time in social media where a large number of posts are people posting on Threads about how much they prefer BlueSky to Twitter.
Interesting read on a pivot going on in the AI space, which could potentially lead to the next big breakthrough: www.reuters.com/technology/a...
