There’s lot of documentation about APIs for Edge itself but I can’t find anything about APIs to allow scripting of changes to the portal. In particular, are there APIs for uploading Swagger definitions to SmartDocs and set permissions on pages?

There is a REST module for Drupal, which, if enabled, allows you to script updates to Drupal.
Getting this to work is described in three parts, starting here: https://www.dinochiesa.net/?p=1297
This REST module is completely independent of Apigee technologies, but works with everything that Apigee puts into the Drupal system.
Just today I used this to populate a FAQ list for a production portal. As for specifically how you would upload an OpenAPI Spec…that I do not know. I have never done that.
EDIT: see also, this github repo, which contains a script that actually uses the Drupal REST API.

@Dino I think that’s exactly what I’m after too.. however your link does not appear to work..
Give this link another try? - https://www.dinochiesa.net/?p=1297
Works fine for me
Thanks that does work (corporate network blocked it)
Hey Simon - I should have also posted this link: https://github.com/DinoChiesa/EdgeTools/tree/master/contriveDevPortalContent.
That is a github repo containing a nodejs script that uses the REST API for Drupal to
- remove all existing {forums, faqs}
- insert new forum posts and faqs
The data for these new records is provided in a JSON-formatted data file.
Using this script requires that you set up the REST server for Drupal as described in that blog post I referenced earlier.
I think some folks under corporate network block have trouble accessing link with different text and hyperlink. Maybe as a best practice we should just post links as they are instead of hyperlinking text. I edited your post commented
