There is a review in progress at
https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/#/c/openbmc/docs/+/17706/ with the
new authentication details.

Other differences I've noticed from phosphor-rest:
* URLs are case sensitive
* Will not interpolate strings to ints
   e.g. won't covert "1000" to 1000 if D-Bus arg is an int
* Not tolerant on things like double '/'s in the URL
   e.g. /xyz/openbmc_project//attr/blah... will not work
