OpenAPI Path Extractor

How to use this developer tool

1. Paste a JSON-formatted API document or load the included sample.
2. Check that the document shape matches the label above the editor.
3. Select “Extract Paths” or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
4. Review the summary and download the copy-ready result.

What this developer tool does

The extractor enumerates real HTTP operations under the paths object and produces one stable, method-aware row per operation.

Rows are sorted by path and method to make changes easier to scan.

Example

The Sample button loads a small specification chosen for this operation. Running it produces the same structured fields shown in the output panel.

    "title": "Pet API",
    "version": "1.0.0"
  },

Use cases

• Review an API contract during a pull request.
• Prepare documentation or deterministic test fixtures.
• Find migration work before changing generators or clients.
• Export a focused report without sharing the source document.

Tips for reliable output

• Bundle remote references before running the page.
• Keep operation IDs stable across published versions.
• Prefer explicit examples for domain-specific values.
• Validate the complete document after applying generated output.
• Commit the original specification before a conversion.

Processing details

The document is parsed as JSON, then each Path Item is checked against the OpenAPI HTTP method set. Parameter counts combine path-level and operation-level arrays.

JSON input only. The extractor does not resolve external $ref targets or validate whether each operation is semantically complete.
