The 42Crunch API Contract Generator is a tool that automates the creation and enhancement of OpenAPI contracts. It generates OpenAPI specifications directly from Postman collections, API traffic, and other development artefacts, significantly reducing the manual effort required to document APIs.

The API Contract Generator analyzes sources such as Postman collections, existing OpenAPI files, and live API traffic to automatically generate or improve OpenAPI contracts. Advanced versions can reconcile multiple sources and enhance existing specifications to ensure accuracy and completeness.
