Let's assume you want to document the query parameters size and offset for your GET endpoint [→] thus https://example.com/api/v1/data?size=2&offset=8.
You will first need to declare the parameters: key, under which you will begin to list out all the needed query parameters.
The concatenated specification below shows a sample definition of the size and offset query parameters (lines: 12 to 27).
