OpenAPI Connector vs. API Connector
To send API requests to third-party services from App Studio applications, you must create and configure a connector that the application uses to authenticate with
the service and configure the API calls. App Studio provides both the API Connector and OpenAPI Connector connector types to accomplish this, which
are described as follows:
API Connector: Used to configure authentication and request information for any type of REST API.
OpenAPI Connector: Used to configure authentication and request information for APIs that have adopted the OpenAPI Specification (OAS). APIs that adhere to the OAS provide several benefits, including standardization, security, governance, and documentation.
App Studio recommends using the OpenAPI Connector for any APIs that adhere to the OAS, and provide an OpenAPI Specification File. For more
information about OpenAPI, see What is OpenAPI?
