openapi-core

Openapi-core is a Python library that adds client-side and server-side support for the OpenAPI v3.0 and OpenAPI v3.1 specification.

Key features

  • Validation and unmarshalling of request and response data (including webhooks)

  • Integrations with popular libraries (Requests, Werkzeug) and frameworks (Django, Falcon, Flask, Starlette)

  • Customization with media type deserializers and format unmarshallers

  • Security data providers (API keys, Cookie, Basic and Bearer HTTP authentications)

Installation

Pip + the source

pip install -e git+https://github.com/python-openapi/openapi-spec-validator.git#egg=openapi_core

First steps

Firstly create your OpenAPI object.

from openapi_core import OpenAPI

openapi = OpenAPI.from_file_path('openapi.json')

Now you can use it to validate and unmarshal your requests and/or responses.

# raises error if request is invalid
result = openapi.unmarshal_request(request)

Retrieve validated and unmarshalled request data

# get parameters
path_params = result.parameters.path
query_params = result.parameters.query
cookies_params = result.parameters.cookies
headers_params = result.parameters.headers
# get body
body = result.body
# get security data
security = result.security

Request object should implement OpenAPI Request protocol. Check Integrations to find oficially supported implementations.

For more details read about Unmarshalling process.

If you just want to validate your request/response data without unmarshalling, read about Validation instead.
