API v2 validator
Since v4.107.0, an API validator is part of the toolset. It shows to what extent the current API v2 output conforms to the specifications and additional requirements.
Types of checks
The checks are categorised into three domains:
- API Catalogue / XSD specifications compliance
- Data model compliance
- Other
For each check a fail / warn / ignore criterion is set.
Automatic execution
The tool is managed by Workflow managers (since v4.109.0; before that, only by Administrators), who can select when the validator is run. The default settings run the validation process:
- On the publication or withdrawal of any QC Item.
- After any new release of qc.ebu.io.
Workflow Managers can also run the tool manually and edit the settings, descriptions, enable/disable checks, etc.
