I understand that won’t import but I don’t understand why not?
Rao says it needs to be swagger (or other), so my question is how do I tell that my api is or isn’t a swagger?
Again - I am new to REST, API, HMTL and ReadyAPI - so pls understand if my questions sound silly.

    Swagger definition has to follow the specification.
    If you open(download json) the above sample swagger definition provided in previous reply and open in in a text editor or open in swagger editor, you can easily identify.

    The links you opened are sample payload for a REST call, I believe.
