**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/asyncapi/asyncapi-spec/  
**Provider:** AsyncAPI — https://apis.io/providers/asyncapi/  
**Documentation:** https://www.asyncapi.com/docs

AsyncAPI Specification is one of 8 APIs that [AsyncAPI](https://apis.io/providers/asyncapi/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. Tagged areas include Event-Driven, Messaging, Specification, and Standards. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, and an AsyncAPI specification.

The AsyncAPI Specification is an open standard for describing asynchronous and event-driven APIs. It provides a machine-readable format for defining messaging interfaces across protocols like Kafka, MQTT, WebSocket, and AMQP, enabling documentation generation, code generation, and validation tooling for event-driven architectures.
