it feeds. The underlying spec was fetched verbatim from https://demo.nginx.com/swagger-ui/nginx_api.yaml
on 2026-09-07 and is NOT modified by this overlay.

description: State the real base URL model. These are customer-hosted control planes; the declared server
is a placeholder, not a reachable host.
update:
x-base-url-model:
model: customer-hosted
effective_base: https://{nginx-host}/api/9
note: The caller supplies the host. No F5-operated endpoint serves this API.
- target: $.info
description: Summarise the authentication the provider documents, which this contract does not fully
declare.
update:
x-authentication-note: No securityScheme is declared. Access control is enforced in the nginx.conf
location that serves the API; write methods additionally require `api write=on;` or every mutation
returns 405 MethodDisabled.
- target: $.info
description: Point at the derived error catalog and note what the contract omits.
update:
x-error-note: errors/f5-problem-types.yml lists 36 enumerated internal error codes read out of this
contract.
- target: $.info
description: Integration notes an agent needs that are not expressible in the contract itself.
update:
x-integration-notes:
- 'Version negotiation: GET / returns the array of API versions the running build supports; an unsupported
/api/{n} returns 404 UnknownVersion.'
- Upstream peer IDs are assigned by NGINX and are NOT stable across a configuration reload.
- Collections are maps keyed by configuration name, not arrays. There is no pagination.
- target: $.info
description: Record the measured absence of rate-limit signalling so a consumer does not go looking
for headers that are never sent.
update:
x-rate-limit-signalling:
headers: []
status_on_exhaustion: null
note: No rate-limit header or 429 response is declared in this contract, and F5 publishes no limits
for its own APIs. See ../rate-limits/f5-rate-limits.yml.
