I'm writing an Open API 3.0 spec and trying to get response links to render in Swagger UI v 3.18.3.
Example:
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
title: Test
version: '1.0'
tags:
- name: Artifacts
paths:
/artifacts:
post:
tags:
- Artifacts
operationId: createArtifact
requestBody:
content:
application/octet-stream:
schema:
type: string
format: binary
responses:
201:
description: create
headers:
Location:
schema:
type: string
format: uri
example: /artifacts/100
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: object
properties:
artifactId:
type: integer
format: int64
links:
Read Artifact:
operationId: getArtifact
parameters:
artifact-id: '$response.body#/artifactId'
/artifacts/{artifact-id}:
parameters:
- name: artifact-id
in: path
required: true
schema:
type: integer
format: int64
get:
tags:
- Artifacts
operationId: getArtifact
responses:
200:
description: read
content:
application/octet-stream:
schema:
type: string
format: binary
renders a link like this:
Is this expected? I ask because the operationId is exposed on the UI and parameters is shown as a JSON reference make it seem like something is not displaying properly. I would have expected a hyperlink or something to take me to the appropriate section in the Swagger web page that corresponds to the API being referenced by the link.
Yes this is how Swagger UI currently renders OAS3 links. Rendering of links is one of the things on their OAS3 support backlog:
OAS 3.0 Support Backlog
This is a collection ticket for OAS3 specification features that are not yet supported by Swagger-UI.
...
[ ] Links can't be used to stage another operation
[ ] Link-level servers are not available for executing requests

My Goal:
I am working on a set of endpoints in an application and I have a swagger 2.0 file with all of the endpoints. They are working on our test environment, but we will not yet make them available in prod.
My question is:
If I upgrade to OpenApi 3, is it possible to hide the paths I don't want to be visible in prod via the servers object?
I didn't think it was from reading the docs, but I would love to be wrong there because I'd prefer to have just one api.yml instead of one for each environment.
Thank you!
I did some testing and the answer is no.
You CAN chose which servers users can run a "try it out" test. Which is a great feature
But, you can NOT hide an endpoint based on which server is chosen from the dropdown at the top of the page. Which was the original goal
Below is the OpenAPI yaml I used in an online editor to verify. I used the online editor here: Swagger Editor and used the petstore.yaml example provided at the OpenAPI-Specification github repo as a starting point. I removed all but one endpoint to shorten things. If you are starting an open api document I would recommend visiting OpenAPI or Swagger to find documentation and a full example.

How do I set a content type other than application/json for a body parameter in Swagger UI 3.x using a Swagger (Open API) 2.0 YAML definition file?
My YAML file is as follows, with the consumes element set to application/json+fhir and application/xml+fhir:
swagger: '2.0'
info:
title: Test
version: '1.0'
host: 'server.com'
basePath: /fhir
schemes:

paths:
/Patient/$getrecordsection:

consumes:
- application/json+fhir
- application/xml+fhir
produces:
- application/json+fhir
- application/xml+fhir
parameters:
- in: body
name: body
description: ''
required: true
schema:
$ref: '#/definitions/GetRecordSection'
responses:
'200':
description: OK
'400':
description: Bad request
definitions:
GetRecordSection:
type: object
properties:
resourceType:
type: string
default: "Parameters"
parameter:
type: string
example:
resourceType: "Parameters"
parameter:
- name: "patientIdentifier"
valueIdentifier:
system: "http://fhir.provider.net/Id/patient-identifier"
value: "9999999999"
- name: "recordSection"
valueCodeableConcept:
coding:
- system: "http://fhir.provider.net/ValueSet/record-section"
code: "ALL"
xml:
name: Parameters
However, the Swagger UI only shows application/json as the body parameter content type:
I'm using the current latest Swagger UI build - 3.11.0.
This is a problem with Swagger UI, rather than the Swagger Editor (though I know the two share a significant number of components), and so the root cause could be the same.
This is a bug in the 3.11.0 version of Swagger UI, using Swagger/Open API 2.0:
https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/issues/4257
I am having problem with my OpenAPI spec file. I am trying to call an exposed url to 'GET' an id but every time i port forward the service to my local and then try to send request through API document my connection is refused. I would appreciate any help. The id that i am expecting would be in JSON format. Below is my spec file
openapi: "3.0.0"
info:

As of June 21 2017, OpenAPI Specification 3.0 is not out yet and Swagger UI does not support OpenAPI 3.0 yet, so your example can't possibly work. Keep an eye on Swagger UI releases page to know when support for OpenAPI 3.0 is available.
Also, you'll need to fix the errors in your spec to make it a valid OpenAPI 3.0 spec:
servers is an array, so change that to:
servers:
- url: http://www.someurl.com
Response status codes must be quoted: "200" or '200'.
Indent the $ref under schemas:
schema:
$ref: "#/definition/Post"
...
schema:
$ref: "#/definition/Error"
Change definition to components->schemas and fix the indentation for Post:
components:
schemas:
Post:
type: object
properties:
id:
type: string
Error:
properties:
id:
type: string
Is it possible to group multiple parameters to reference them in multiple routes?
For example I have a combination of parameters which I need in every route. They are defined as global parameters. How can I group them?
I think about a definition like this:
parameters:
MetaDataParameters:
# Meta Data Properties
- name: id
in: query
description: Entry identification number
required: false
type: integer
- name: time_start
in: query
description: Start time of flare
required: false
type: string
- name: nar
in: query
description: Active region number
required: false
type: string
And then reference the whole group in my route:
/test/:
get:
tags:
- TEST
operationId: routes.test
parameters:
- $ref: "#/parameters/MetaDataParameters"
responses:
200:
description: OK
Is this possible with Swagger 2.0?
This is not possible with Swagger 2.0, OpenAPI 3.0 or 3.1. I've opened a feature request for this and it is proposed for a future version:
https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/445
you can point your $ref to middle .yaml file, like this:
//middle.yaml <-----
- $ref: 'Defaul.yaml#/components/parameters/meta_id'
- $ref: 'Defaul.yaml#/components/parameters/meta_time_start'
- $ref: 'Default.yaml#/components/parameters/meta_nar'
your Default.yaml file should be like this:
//Default.yaml <-----
components:
parameters:
meta_id:
name: id
in: query
description: Entry identification number
schema:
type: integer
example: 1
meta_time_start:
name: time_start
in: query
schema:
type: string
finally, your main file should be looks like this:
/test/:
get:
tags:
- TEST
operationId: routes.test
parameters:
$ref: "../parameters/middle.yaml" <---- external yaml file
responses:
200:
description: OK
NOTE: your $ref should be without -. like in my example
I'm preparing my API documentation by doing it per hand and not auto generated. There I have headers that should be sent to all APIs and don't know if it is possible to define parameters globally for the whole API or not?
Some of these headers are static and some has to be set when call to API is made, but they are all the same in all APIs, I don't want to copy and paste parameters for each API and each method as this will not be maintainable in the future.
I saw the static headers by API definition but there is no single document for how somebody can set them or use them.
Is this possible at all or not?
It depends on what kind of parameters they are.
The examples below are in YAML (for readability), but you can use http://www.json2yaml.com to convert them to JSON.
Security-related parameters: Authorization header, API keys, etc.
Parameters used for authentication and authorization, such as the Authorization header, API key, pair of API keys, etc. should be defined as security schemes rather than parameters.
In your example, the X-ACCOUNT looks like an API key, so you can use:
swagger: "2.0"
...
securityDefinitions:
accountId:
type: apiKey
in: header
name: X-ACCOUNT
description: All requests must include the `X-ACCOUNT` header containing your account ID.
# Apply the "X-ACCOUNT" header globally to all paths and operations
security:
- accountId: []
or in OpenAPI 3.0:
openapi: 3.0.0
...
components:
securitySchemes:
accountId:
type: apiKey
in: header
name: X-ACCOUNT
description: All requests must include the `X-ACCOUNT` header containing your account ID.
# Apply the "X-ACCOUNT" header globally to all paths and operations
security:
- accountId: []
Tools may handle security schemes parameters differently than generic parameters. For example, Swagger UI won't list API keys among operation parameters; instead, it will display the "Authorize" button where your users can enter their API key.
Generic parameters: offset, limit, resource IDs, etc.
OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0 do not have a concept of global parameters. There are existing feature requests:
Allow for responses and parameters shared across all endpoints
Group multiple parameter definitions for better maintainability
The most you can do is define these parameters in the global parameters section (in OpenAPI 2.0) or the components/parameters section (in OpenAPI 3.0) and then $ref all parameters explicitly in each operation. The drawback is that you need to duplicate the $refs in each operation.
swagger: "2.0"
...
paths:
/users:
get:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/offset'
- $ref: '#/parameters/limit'
...
/organizations:
get:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/offset'
- $ref: '#/parameters/limit'
...
parameters:
offset:
in: query
name: offset
type: integer
minimum: 0
limit:
in: query
name: limit
type: integer
minimum: 1
maximum: 50
To reduce code duplication somewhat, parameters that apply to all operations on a path can be defined on the path level rather than inside operations.
paths:
/foo:
# These parameters apply to both GET and POST
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/some_param'
- $ref: '#/parameters/another_param'
get:
...
post:
...
If you're talking about header parameters sent by consumer when calling the API...
You can at least define them once and for all in parameters sections then only reference them when needed.
In the example below:
CommonPathParameterHeader, ReusableParameterHeader and AnotherReusableParameterHeader are defined once and for all in parameterson the root of the document and can be used in any parameters list
CommonPathParameterHeaderis referenced in parameters section of /resources and /other-resources paths, meaning that ALL operation of these paths need this header
ReusableParameterHeader is referenced in get /resources meaning that it's needed on this operation
Same thing for AnotherReusableParameterHeader in get /other-resources
Example:
swagger: '2.0'
info:
version: 1.0.0
title: Header API
description: A simple API to learn how you can define headers
parameters:
CommonPathParameterHeader:
name: COMMON-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
ReusableParameterHeader:
name: REUSABLE-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
AnotherReusableParameterHeader:
name: ANOTHER-REUSABLE-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
paths:
/resources:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/CommonPathParameterHeader'
get:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/ReusableParameterHeader'
responses:
'200':
description: gets some resources
/other-resources:
parameters:

- $ref: '#/parameters/AnotherReusableParameterHeader'
responses:
'200':

If you're talking about header sent with each API response...
Unfortunately you cannot define reusable response headers.
But at least you can define a reusable response containing these headers for common HTTP responses such as a 500 error.
Example:
swagger: '2.0'
info:
version: 1.0.0
title: Header API
description: A simple API to learn how you can define headers
parameters:
CommonPathParameterHeader:
name: COMMON-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
ReusableParameterHeader:
name: REUSABLE-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
AnotherReusableParameterHeader:
name: ANOTHER-REUSABLE-PARAMETER-HEADER
type: string
in: header
required: true
paths:
/resources:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/CommonPathParameterHeader'
get:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/ReusableParameterHeader'
responses:
'200':
description: gets some resources
headers:
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining:
type: integer
X-Rate-Limit-Reset:
type: string
format: date-time
/other-resources:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/CommonPathParameterHeader'
get:
parameters:
- $ref: '#/parameters/AnotherReusableParameterHeader'
responses:
'200':
description: gets some other resources
headers:
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining:
type: integer
X-Rate-Limit-Reset:
type: string
format: date-time
post:
responses:
'204':
description: Succesfully created.
headers:
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining:
type: integer
X-Rate-Limit-Reset:
type: string
format: date-time
'500':
$ref: '#/responses/Standard500ErrorResponse'
responses:
Standard500ErrorResponse:
description: An unexpected error occured.
headers:
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining:

About OpenAPI (fka. Swagger) Next version
The OpenAPI spec (fka. Swagger) will evolve and include the definition of reusable response headers among other things (cf. https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/563).
As per this Swagger issue comment, support for global parameters (including header parameters) is not planned in foreseeable future, but to limit the repetition you should use parameters references as in #Arnaud's answer (parameters: - $ref: '#/parameters/paramX').
also wish some global variables, can be used anywhere.
( even in some examples, so can change common settings globally in ui ).
something like
"hello ${var1}" in shell or javascript.
searched docs many times, not found solution yet.
