## API design principles

When it comes to APIs, we generally want more consumers.
If they need help to purchase, integrate, or troubleshoot, your contact info should be front and center.

## Configuration

| Option | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| severity | string | Possible values: `off`, `warn`, `error`. Default `off`. |


An example configuration:


```yaml
rules:
  info-contact: warn
```

## Examples

Given this configuration:


```yaml
rules:
  info-contact: error
```

Example of **incorrect** contact:


```yaml
info:
  version: 1.0.0
  title: Incorrect example missing contact
  termsOfService: 'https://example.com/terms/'
  license:
    name: Apache 2.0
    url: 'http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html'
```

Example of **correct** contact:


```yaml
info:
  contact:
    name: Redocly API Support
    url: https://www.redocly.com/support
    email: support@redocly.com
```
