Generate your API documentation & changelog #

Bump.sh helps you build a branded single source of truth, cataloging all your APIs. We’ve created the reference point for teams consuming and building APIs, no matter which technology they rely on.

Bump.sh keeps your API docs always synchronized with your codebase. With this Github Action your API reference is automatically generated - with changelog and diff - on Bump.sh from any OpenAPI or AsyncAPI file.

Usage #

Start with creating a documentation on Bump.sh.

Once you’ve set up an API Documentation, go to Settings > CI Deployment, copy the access token, then add it to GitHub Settings > Secrets > Actions as a new repository secret called BUMP_TOKEN.

Then you can pick from one of the three following API workflow files.

• Recommended: Deploy Documentation & Diff on Pull Requests
• Deploy Documentation only
• Diff on Pull Requests only

Deploy Documentation & Diff on Pull Requests #

This is the recommended workflow, which will create two steps in your automation flow: a validation & diff step on code reviews, followed by a deployment step on merged changes.

.github/workflows/bump.yml

name: Check & deploy API documentation

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  deploy-doc:
    if: ${{ github.event_name == 'push' }}
    name: Deploy API documentation on Bump.sh
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Deploy API documentation
        uses: bump-sh/github-action@v1
        with:
          doc: <BUMP_DOC_ID>
          token: ${{secrets.BUMP_TOKEN}}
          file: doc/api-documentation.yml

  api-diff:
    if: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' }}
    name: Check API diff on Bump.sh
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Comment pull request with API diff
        uses: bump-sh/github-action@v1
        with:
          doc: <BUMP_DOC_ID>
          token: ${{secrets.BUMP_TOKEN}}
          file: doc/api-documentation.yml
          command: diff
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}

make sure to change your destination branch name (main in the example above), replace <BUMP_DOC_ID> with your Bump.sh documentation slug or id, and point file: to your local API description document (doc/api-documentation.yml).

Deploy Documentation only #

If you only need to deploy documentation changes on push, then you can use this workflow instead:

.github/workflows/bump-deploy.yml

name: Deploy documentation

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  deploy-doc:
    name: Deploy API doc on Bump.sh
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Deploy API documentation
        uses: bump-sh/github-action@v1
        with:
          doc: <BUMP_DOC_ID>
          token: ${{secrets.BUMP_TOKEN}}
          file: doc/api-documentation.yml

make sure to change your destination branch name (main in the example above), replace <BUMP_DOC_ID> with your Bump.sh documentation slug or id, and point file: to your local API description document (doc/api-documentation.yml).

Diff on pull requests only #

If you only want to have API diff posted on pull requests, use this workflow:

.github/workflows/api-diff.yml

name: API diff

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  api-diff:
    name: Check API diff on Bump.sh
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Comment pull request with API diff
        uses: bump-sh/github-action@v1
        with:
          doc: <BUMP_DOC_ID>
          token: ${{secrets.BUMP_TOKEN}}
          file: doc/api-documentation.yml
          command: diff
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}

make sure to change your destination branch name (main in the example above), replace <BUMP_DOC_ID> with your Bump.sh documentation slug or id, and point file: to your local API description document (doc/api-documentation.yml).

Inputs #

• doc (required): Documentation slug or id. Can be found in the documentation settings on https://bump.sh/docs

• token (required): Do not add your documentation token here, but create an encrypted secret that holds your documentation token.

  • Your Bump.sh token can be found in the documentation settings on your API dashboard. Copy it for later usage.
  • In your GitHub repository, go to your “Settings”, and then “Secrets”.
  • Click the button “New repository secret”, name the secret BUMP_TOKEN and paste your Bump.sh token in the value field.

• file: Relative path to the documentation file. Default: api-contract.yml

• hub (optional): Hub slug or id. Needed when deploying to documentation in a Hub. Can be found in the hub settings on https://bump.sh

• branch (optional): Branch name used during deploy or diff commands. This can be useful to maintain multiple API reference history and make it available in your API documentation.

• command: Bump.sh command to execute. Default: deploy

  • deploy: deploy a new version of the documentation
  • diff: automatically comment your pull request with the API diff
  • dry-run: dry-run a deployment of the documentation file
  • preview: create a temporary preview

• expires (optional): Specify a longer expiration date for public diffs (defaults to 1 day). Use iso8601 format to provide a date, or you can use never to keep the result live indefinitely.

• fail_on_breaking (optional): Mark the action as failed when a breaking change is detected with the diff command. This is only valid with diff command.
