Permit CLI Launch Week | Day 4- API-First Authorization

​Day 4: API-First Authorization

​Define and enforce API authorization policies seamlessly using OpenAPI specifications and Permit.io’s CLI, ensuring smooth integration with your API architecture.

​Description:

​APIs serve as the cornerstone of modern applications and require a reliable way to implement consistent authorization across endpoints.

​With Permit.io’s CLI, developers can define API access controls directly from their OpenAPI specifications or URL-based mappings, ensuring proper integration with their existing API architecture.

​On this day, we explore how developers can:

• ​Generate policies from OpenAPI specifications – Automatically create policy schemas based on your API structure.

• ​Use OpenAPI -x Extensions for Policy Configuration – Define access control rules directly within OpenAPI specifications.

• ​Leverage URL-based permissions – Map API endpoints to policies using simple configurations and FastAPI decorators.

​Permit.io’s CLI provides a developer-friendly way to align authorization logic with API design, removing the need for manual policy configurations and ensuring access control remains consistent across API-driven applications.
