# Novel API

The Novel API is used by all Novel Products to handle and manage your SaaS. 

Novel uses [Fastify](https://fastify.dev/) for its underlying routing framework.

## OpenAPI

Novel uses OpenAPI to shape the requests as much as possible. The built-in routes will have described the input and output of each endpoint. This is useful for the web client as request files are generated automatically using the spec.
