One would require a swagger definition in order to import into the tool.
Here is sample public swagger defition which you can try import. You would need a similar one.

Rao,How do I know what language this API is in? How can I tell it’s something else and not Swagger?Jennifer

- that will not get imported in the ReadyAPI or SaopUI tools - once can also try to import / load either the url  or file of the swagger definition in Swagger editorhttps://editor.swagger.io/

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.Jennifer

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.
