Zipkin API includes service and model definitions used for Zipkin-compatible services.

This repository includes OpenAPI Spec as well Protocol Buffers and Thrift interchange formats. As these IDL files are languagage agnostic, there are no compilation instructions needed or included.

• Protocol Buffers v3 - Requires Zipkin 2.8+ or similar to parse it.
• Thrift - Deprecated as new clients should not generate this format

• /api/v1 - Still supported on zipkin-server
• /api/v2 - Most recent and published here

Take a look at the example repository for how to use this.

The proto artifact published is zipkin-proto3 under the group ID io.zipkin.proto3

Releases are at Sonatype and Maven Central
