View the open standards
Anyone can view the published versions of the open standards in Confluence. They include the standard and code specifications (YAML Swagger) so you can consider these when designing your customer solution.
Using the standards
Only registered Standards Users of the API Centre have the right to use our standards in partnership with another Standards User. Organisations can apply to become a registered API Provider or Third Party Standards User. To find out who's registered, see our current Standards Users.
Individuals can also join our API Centre as a Community Contributor. This gives you access to our sandbox so you can test your innovation against the standards before becoming a registered Third Party Standards User.
To learn more, see Join the API Centre.
