What's aiohttp-swagger
aiohttp-swagger is a plugin for aiohttp.web server that allow to document APIs using Swagger show the Swagger-ui console.
Installation
Simple

With extra performance
Aiohttp-swagger also includes some optional dependencies to add extra performance but requires a bit different installation, because they (usually) depends of C extensions.
To install the tool with extra performance you must do:
$ python3.5 -m pip install 'aiohttp-swagger[performance]'
Remember that aiohttp-swagger only runs in Python 3.5 and above.
Quick start
Document an API is so simple:
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_swagger import *
async def ping(request):
"""
---
description: This end-point allow to test that service is up.
tags:
- Health check
produces:
- text/plain
responses:
"200":
description: successful operation. Return "pong" text
"405":
description: invalid HTTP Method
"""
return web.Response(text="pong")
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_route('GET', "/ping", ping)
setup_swagger(app)
web.run_app(app, host="127.0.0.1")
It produces:
Where to access to API Doc
By default, API will be generated at URL: yourdomain.com**/api/doc**.
You can modify the URI adding the parameter swagger_url in setup_swagger:
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_swagger import *
async def ping(request):
"""
---
description: This end-point allow to test that service is up.
tags:
- Health check
produces:
- text/plain
responses:
"200":
description: successful operation. Return "pong" text
"405":
description: invalid HTTP Method
"""
return web.Response(text="pong")
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_route('GET', "/ping", ping)
setup_swagger(app, swagger_url="/api/v1/doc") # <-- NEW Doc URI
web.run_app(app, host="127.0.0.1")
Customizing Doc description and more
You can change this valued for Swagger doc:
- API Base URL: Modify global prefix of your API.
- Description: Long description of your API
- API Version: Version of your API
- Title: Title for your API
- Contact: Contact info.

Adding Swagger from external file
Per End-Point level
We can add the Swagger doc from an external YAML file at end-point level. You only need to decorate the end-point function handler:
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_swagger import *
@swagger_path("example_swagger_partial.yaml") # <-- Load Swagger info from external file
async def example_2(request):
"""
Example 3 handler description. This description is only for Sphinx.
"""
return web.Response(text="Example")
async def example_3(request):
"""
Description end-point
"""
return web.Response(text="Example")
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_route('GET', "/example1", example_1)
app.router.add_route('GET', "/example2", example_2)
setup_swagger(app)
web.run_app(app, host="127.0.0.1")
External file must have this format:
tags:
- user
summary: Create user
description: This can only be done by the logged in user.
operationId: examples.api.api.createUser
produces:
- application/json
parameters:
- in: body
name: body
description: Created user object
required: false
schema:
type: object
properties:
id:
type: integer
format: int64
username:
type:
- "string"
- "null"
firstName:
type: string
lastName:
type: string
email:
type: string
password:
type: string
phone:
type: string
userStatus:
type: integer
format: int32
description: User Status
responses:
"201":
description: successful operation
Pay attention that file doesn't contain information about HTTP Method or End-Point name. This information will be added automatically.
Global Swagger YAML
aiohttp-swagger also allow to build an external YAML Swagger file and load it before:
from aiohttp import web
from aiohttp_swagger import *
async def ping(request):
"""
This is my usually Sphinx doc
>>> import json
>>> ping(None)
:param request: Context injected by aiohttp framework
:type request: RequestHandler
"""
return web.Response(text="pong")
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_route('GET', "/ping", ping)
setup_swagger(app, swagger_from_file="example_swagger.yaml") # <-- Loaded Swagger from external YAML file
web.run_app(app, host="127.0.0.1")
F.A.Q.
-
Q: Where start the Swagger documentation in my function doc?
-
A: aiohttp-swagger try to find the string ---. When it find this string pattern, the next text until the end of function are considered Swagger doc.
-
Q: Can I Combine the Swagger documentation with my usually Sphinx doc?
-
A: Sure! Your Sphinx doc must be first of the --- limiter.
async def ping(request):
"""
This is my usually Sphinx doc
>>> import json
>>> ping(None)
:param request: Context injected by aiohttp framework

responses:
"200":

"405":

"""
- Q: How can I group a list of End-Point?
- A: End-Point will be grouped by their title. The end-point with the same title will be grouped automatically:
- Q: How can I change the Title of a group of End-Points?
- A: Swagger has a tag that uses to build the titles. The tag name is tags. The format is:
tags: # <-- TAG USEF FOR THE TITLE
- Health check
description: This end-point allow to test that service is up.
produces:
- text/plain
responses:
"200":
description: successful operation. Return "pong" text
"405":
description: invalid HTTP Method
- Q: What happens if I use YAML file and function documentation for build Swagger doc at the same time?
- A: If two method are provided, aiohttp-swagger will use the YAML over the function doc.
