Swagger Codegen Online Generators

One can also generate API client or server using the online generators (https://generator.swagger.io)

For example, to generate Ruby API client, simply send the following HTTP request using curl:

Terminal window
curl -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" -d '{"swaggerUrl":"https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"}' https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/ruby

Then you will receive a JSON response with the URL to download the zipped code.

To customize the SDK, you can POST to https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/{language} with the following HTTP body:

{
  "options":  {},
  "swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
}

in which the options for a language can be obtained by submitting a GET request to https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/{language}:

For example, curl https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/python returns

{
  "packageName": {
    "opt": "packageName",
    "description": "python package name (convention: snake_case).",
    "type": "string",
    "default": "swagger_client"
  },
  "packageVersion": {
    "opt": "packageVersion",
    "description": "python package version.",
    "type": "string",
    "default": "1.0.0"
  },
  "sortParamsByRequiredFlag": {
    "opt": "sortParamsByRequiredFlag",
    "description": "Sort method arguments to place required parameters before optional parameters.",
    "type": "boolean",
    "default": "true"
  }
}

To set package name to pet_store, the HTTP body of the request is as follows:

{
  "options": {
    "packageName": "pet_store"
  },
  "swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"
}

and here is the curl command:

Terminal window
curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"options": {"packageName": "pet_store"},"swaggerUrl": "https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json"}' https://generator.swagger.io/api/gen/clients/python

Instead of using swaggerUrl with an URL to the OpenAPI/Swagger spec, one can include the spec in the JSON payload with spec, e.g.

{
  "options": {},
  "spec": {
    "swagger": "2.0",
    "info": {
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "title": "Test API"
    },
    ...
  }
}
