# Integration guide
## Github Actions
In cases where your OpenAPI spec can be generated from your code, it can be useful to see how a pull request changes your API. For this very purpose we have a Github Action.
### Generating the inputs
To use it you need to first get the old (before the pull request) and new (after the pull request) specs.
For example:
- To get the old spec you can:
- Download from a public "production" server (if your api is public and you provide an OpenAPI spec)
- Checkout the base commit of the pull request and generate is programmatically.
You can checkout the base commit like so in Github Actions:
```bash
git checkout $(git merge-base ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }} ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }})
```
- To get the new spec you can:
- Build and run the spec generation for the head commit of the pull request
### Run the action
In our example we have already generated the two OpenAPI specs and placed them in the `old-openapi.yaml` and `new-openapi.yaml` files.
We can now run our action:
##### NOTE: will only work after public release
```yaml
- uses: typeable/comparest
with:
old: old-openapi.yaml
new: new-openapi.yaml
project_name: TEST
```
This will create a comment on the pull request displaying the changes (if there are any) similar to this:
![](img/github-action-comment.png)
Consecutive runs of the action will update the comment instead of creating new ones. This will prevent the pile-up of compaREST comments and save you from distracting notifications.
## Integrating into something other than Github Actions
We have a dedicated implementation only for Github Actions. However, we provide a generic CLI which can be used to integrate compaREST into arbitrary workflows and CI systems.
You see an example of CLI usage in our [readme](../README.md#assessing-compatibility-automatically).
