OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: BigchainDB HTTP Assets Root API
  version: v1
  description: The BigchainDB HTTP Client-Server API. BigchainDB is an open-source blockchain database that combines high throughput, low latency, immutable data storage and built-in asset support with decentralized control. This document is a faithful transcription of the operations, parameters and status codes published in the official BigchainDB Server HTTP API reference; BigchainDB does not publish its own machine-readable OpenAPI, so this spec was generated by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the documented endpoint reference.
