Hi there,  
I am working on providing a Spring Cloud open feign implementation for Flowable and I wonder why there is no “swagger definition file” for Flowable Applictations. Is that in purpose for some reasons?

In order to clarify I mean something like this  
[https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/tree/master/docs/public-api/references/swagger](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/tree/master/docs/public-api/references/swagger) but for “APPS”.

Daniel

Hey Daniel,

The Swagger definitions are created during build time as part of the [flowable-app-rest](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/master/modules/flowable-app-rest/pom.xml). You can either build Flowable by yourself or you can download the latest WAR and get the docs from the app-rest.

Cheers,  
Filip
