Scalar is an open-source API platform focused on OpenAPI specifications. It provides tools to author, validate, test, and share API documentation, and to generate an API client from the spec. The platform keeps the OpenAPI document at the center of development and offers interactive, customizable docs published through a hosted service called Scalar Docs, with a free tier and paid options. Its open-core model combines openly available tools with a managed publishing service to help developers publish and maintain API documentation more efficiently.
