ETSI SDG OpenCAPIF, the Software Development Group developing an open-source implementation of the Common API Framework (CAPIF) defined by 3GPP, has just launched their Release 2.0.0. This version has been upgraded to support CAPIF Release 18 Technical Specifications from 3GPP and the associated YAML templates available in the 3GPP Forge.

This new Release also introduces significant updates, enhancements, and new features aimed at providing a more robust, secure, and efficient API management platform.

One of the main new features is the Software Development Kit (SDK) designed to lower integration complexity and provide developers, whether they are beginners or experienced, with the basic API invoker and exposer logic, so they can focus on the development of network applications and network exposing functions.

Along with this release, ETSI is now offering an OpenCAPIF Sandbox environment allowing developers to test and validate their functions and applications against OpenCAPIF Release 2.0.0.

Release 2.0.0 also includes new tools for testing and multiple recently developed or updated scripts. These scripts were created to simplify the deployment and interaction with OpenCAPIF, including in a Kubernetes setup, making it easier for everyone, including first timers, to get started. They played a crucial role during the 1st OpenCAPIF Hackfest, which gathered over 50 developers at ETSI in November 2024, during the SNS4SNS event. All the Hackfest material, including videos, is available in this wiki.

To know more about all the new features in OpenCAPIF Release 2.0.0, you can check the Release Notes or the OpenCAPIF Documentation.
