About
#####

Openapi-core is a Python library that adds client-side and server-side support
for the `OpenAPI Specification v3 <https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification>`__.

Key features
************

* **Validation** of requests and responses
* Schema **casting** and **unmarshalling**
* Media type and parameters **deserialization**
* **Security** providers (API keys, Cookie, Basic and Bearer HTTP authentications)
* Custom **deserializers** and **formats**
* **Integration** with libraries and frameworks


Documentation
#############

Check documentation to see more details about the features. All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at `openapi-core.readthedocs.io <https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io>`__


Installation
############

Recommended way (via pip):

::

    $ pip install openapi-core

Alternatively you can download the code and install from the repository:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install -e git+https://github.com/p1c2u/openapi-core.git#egg=openapi_core


Usage
#####

Firstly create your specification:

.. code-block:: python

   from openapi_core import create_spec

   spec = create_spec(spec_dict)

Request
*******

Now you can use it to validate requests

.. code-block:: python

   from openapi_core.validation.request.validators import RequestValidator

   validator = RequestValidator(spec)
   result = validator.validate(request)

   # raise errors if request invalid
   result.raise_for_errors()

   # get list of errors
   errors = result.errors

and unmarshal request data from validation result

.. code-block:: python

   # get parameters object with path, query, cookies and headers parameters
   validated_params = result.parameters
   # or specific parameters
   validated_path_params = result.parameters.path

   # get body
   validated_body = result.body

   # get security data
   validated_security = result.security

Request object should be instance of OpenAPIRequest class (See `Integrations <https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integrations.html>`__).

Response
********

You can also validate responses

.. code-block:: python

   from openapi_core.validation.response.validators import ResponseValidator

   validator = ResponseValidator(spec)
   result = validator.validate(request, response)

   # raise errors if response invalid
   result.raise_for_errors()

   # get list of errors
   errors = result.errors

and unmarshal response data from validation result

.. code-block:: python

   # get headers
   validated_headers = result.headers

   # get data
   validated_data = result.data

Response object should be instance of OpenAPIResponse class (See `Integrations <https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integrations.html>`__).
