Anyone Ever Publish a ColdFusion API to Rapid API?

Paul, did you ever sort things out? We ever heard back from you on the suggestions below. 

Nice one, sdsinc_pmascari! Please open a ColdFusion Feature Request. If you are short of time, just copy and paste your current post or refer to this thread. 

Let us know when you are done. Then we can vote for it.

That's an interesting challenge and set of observations. While you await someone who may have specific answers to each, I'll share a couple of points in the meantime.

I can see why one may want to have a CF-based REST API managed by a service like RapidAPI, and it is too bad if such a tool doesn't support swagger 1.2. (FWIW, the CF API Manager does support both 1.2 and 2.0, for use with things other than CF, of course.) And it would be nice if Adobe would update the CF REST feature to publish swagger docs as 2.0. Let's hope they may.

FWIW, I can say that the 500-page release notes for Project Stratus (the next release of CF) make no mention of swagger or openapi at all. That doesn't mean there will NOT be an update to it using swagger 2.0 (currently or before the final release in 2020 or 2021). I'm just confirming that I don't see mention of it now. Someone interested to pursue that could join the prerelease (it's free) and ask in the forums there. I have a post with more on getting started with the prerelease.

As for the CF API Manager, I would offer just a couple of clarifications.  First, Adobe doesn't "give it away" since CF2016. Rather, it's offered with a CF Enterprise license since CF2016. And I'm not sure I would really see it and RapidAPI as providing the same things (since you describe having tried it and are opting to use "a service more popular with the rest of the world."). RapidAPI offers a "marketplace" for APIs (which the CF API Mgr does not). And as for the RapidAPI Teams feature, it seems that the CF API Mgr offers many features for "managing" APIs one has, which seem to go far beyond what Teams does. But I will leave it for others with more experience using both to discuss that further. 

Again, that's not to knock that tool or your choosing to use it. Just a clarification that may help some readers. And again I appreciate your lament of the lack of Swagger 2 support in CF, for now. 

Finally, as for conversion of swagger 1.2 to 2.0, I suppose you've seen tools like https://www.npmjs.com/package/swagger-converter. It doesn't matter if they are CF tools (or know how to talk to CF), since you point them at a swagger doc URL. A challenge, of course, is that you would need to point tools like RapidAPI at such a converted swagger doc, and work to keep things in sync. Perhaps you have tried that? I don't readily find discussions of others having done it, but maybe someone else will chime in with more for you on that or other options.
