OAC-Essbase has Swagger

Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) Essbase has swagger. I don't mean the self-confident arrogant demeanor and walk. Rather I'm talking about something I've seen multiple people ask for.  I've seen requests for documentation on the REST API. For those of you who don't know REST for  it is Representational State Transfer and refers to a protocol for for a stateless casheable communications HTTP based way to execute commands on cloud applications. In OAC it is used for everything from outline updates, to loading data, to stopping and starting applications to just about everything in OAC.  

Rather than provide the historically meaningless written documentation that we have endured for years, the OAC development team decided to provide us with an interactive testable set of documentation called Swagger. In order to get to the documentation, like with other REST calls, you use HTTP connections in your browser.  To connect use:

You will most likely be asked to provide your login credentials. 

One loaded the interface will look like:



You then can click on any item and get details about it. For example is we want to find out about the OAC instance we can select About:



Even better, notice above you can try it out. When I executed it I got:



Give it a try and you will have swagger yoursef
