About Scalar

Turn OpenAPI/Swagger documents into interactive API reference pages.

Scalar takes OpenAPI or Swagger specification files and renders them as interactive API reference documentation. Developers and teams can use it to give API consumers a readable, browsable interface for exploring endpoints, parameters, and responses. It can be embedded into any web page via a CDN script or installed as an npm package.

Where to start

The quickest way to get started is via the CDN: drop the script tag into an HTML page, call Scalar.createApiReference with the URL of your OpenAPI document, and the reference renders immediately. Full integration options and configuration details are in the official documentation.
