Yes! Fantastic. Typescript interfaces are a great way to specify JSON schemas, much friendlier than eg JSON Schema and the likes.

Now that TypeScript is gaining traction it might be a great moment to start documenting your REST payloads with it instead of eg JSON Schema or just some JSON example blobs. It's very readable even for non TypeScript programmers.

You can use OpenAPI/swagger to do that, which contains a subset of Json Schema, you have the option to use Yaml instead of json notation and have it language-independent and with the option to generate client and server code for multiple languages.
