Swagger Client Code Generator. Using Python. For Python

---

Summary

There is a) professional SDK generation tools (OpenAPI code gen and others) and b) tools like postman or simply curl This tool aims to place itself a notch more useful than querying your API with curl.

Fork it and use it as a template.

Get the Code

pip install swagccg-py2py

or clone it into your development environment

git clone https://github.com/erkandem/swagccg-py2py.git

or download the zip

Getting started

The assumption here ist that you already have a swagger.json file.

The creation of a client comes down to:

python swagccg

If the config.json is not in your working directory you would have to add its location to the call:

python -m swagccg -c /location/of/your/config.json

the configuration file

config.json consists of two distinct parts. First, we would like to tell the script:

• where we keep a swagger definition
• where we would like the client module to be created
• what name we would like the client class to have

Since this is rather a development tool we would like to switch between target hosts with little afford (i.e. environment variable). Therefore, we will offer it two targets which are later used to assamble resource URLs.

We'll set a local (i.e. development) and remote (i.e. deployed) set of:

• port
• base url (i.e IPv4, host, domain_name.tld, subdomain.domain_name.tld)
• scheme (http or https)

{
  "swagger_path": "/home/abuser/apiclient/swagger.json",
  "target_path": "/home/abuser/apiclient/auto_client.py",
  "class_name": "Myclient",


  "api_port_local": "5000",
  "api_url_base_local": "127.0.0.1",
  "api_protocol_local": "http",

  "api_port_remote": "80",
  "api_url_base_remote": "deployed.com",
  "api_protocol_remote": "https"
}

Client Creation

python -m swagccg --c location/of/your/config.json

Client Usage

Ultimately, the usage of the client depends on your requirements. Nonetheless, the README would be incomplete without some usage examples:

from auto_client import MyApiClient # default names - set them in confi.json
from settings import credential_dict # if needed

client_instance = MyApiClient('remote')  # or 'local' 
client_instance.login_with_api(credential_dict) 
data = client_instance.get_something_r() 

or

import os
from pathlib import Path
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from auto_client import MyApiClient
#%%
env_path = Path('.') / '.env'
load_dotenv(dotenv_path=env_path)
client_instance = MyApiClient('remote')

#%% login of course depends on the server
client_instance.login_with_api({
    'username': os.getenv('API_USERNAME'),
    'password': os.getenv('API_PASSWORD')
})
param_dict = dict(name='value')
data = client_instance.get_something_r(fields_data=param_dict)

gotchas

• authorization is highly custom
• most of the swagger details are not parsed
• models and mapping is omitted (marshmallow)
• little to none HTTP status codes parsing
• assumes knowledge on HTTP
