An OpenAPI file is a YAML or JSON file that has a field named swagger or openapi at the root level.

For example:

{
  "swagger": "2.0",
  ...
}

or

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: test
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  ...

 

There are also parsers for various programming languages that can tell you if a file is a valid OpenAPI file.
