Bump.sh
Automated API documentation and changelog platform for OpenAPI and AsyncAPI.
About Bump.sh
Bump.sh is a specialized API documentation platform that focuses on automation, tracking changes, and supporting both synchronous and asynchronous APIs. It is designed to act as a single source of truth for API contracts, generating developer portals directly from OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications.
A standout capability of Bump.sh is its automated API changelog. Whenever an API specification is updated via CI/CD, Bump.sh analyzes the diff and automatically generates a human-readable changelog, notifying developers of new endpoints, deprecated parameters, or breaking changes. This ensures consumers are always aware of how an API is evolving.

- AsyncAPI Support: First-class support for documenting event-driven architectures (AsyncAPI).
- CI/CD Automation: Integrates with GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for automatic deployments.
- API Hubs: Centralized developer portals covering multiple APIs and microservices.
- Custom Branding: White-label documentation with custom domains, CSS, and styling.
- Change Notifications: Alerts API consumers when significant or breaking changes occur.

FAQ
Does Bump.sh support AsyncAPI?
Yes, Bump.sh provides excellent, first-class support for rendering AsyncAPI specifications for event-driven architectures.
How do API changelogs work?
When you deploy a new version of your specification, Bump.sh compares it to the previous version and automatically generates a detailed changelog highlighting added, modified, and deleted elements.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, custom domains and white-labeling are available on paid tiers.
Does Bump.sh have an API designer?
No, Bump.sh focuses on the documentation and deployment side. You design your specifications externally and deploy them to Bump.sh via CLI or CI/CD.
