Input

You must set the input so we can load your OpenAPI specification.

Input

Input can be a path or URL, object containing a path or URL, or an object representing an OpenAPI specification. Hey API supports all valid OpenAPI versions and file formats.

path

export default {
  input: './path/to/openapi.json', 
};

url

export default {
  input: 'https://get.heyapi.dev/hey-api/backend', 
};

object

export default {
  input: { 
    path: 'https://get.heyapi.dev/hey-api/backend', 
    // ...other options 
  }, 
};

spec

export default {
  input: { 
    openapi: '3.1.1', 
    // ...rest of your spec 
  }, 
};

INFO

If you use an HTTPS URL with a self-signed certificate in development, you will need to set NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 in your environment.

Hey API Platform options

You might want to use the Hey API Platform to store your specifications. If you do so, the input object provides options to help with constructing the correct URL.

export default {
  input: {
    path: 'https://get.heyapi.dev/',
    branch: 'main', 
    project: 'backend', 
  },
};

Request options

You can pass any valid Fetch API options to the request for fetching your specification. This is useful if your file is behind auth for example.

export default {
  input: {
    path: 'https://secret.com/protected-spec',
    fetch: { 
      headers: { 
        Authorization: 'Bearer xxx', 
      }, 
    }, 
  },
};

Watch Mode

WARNING

Watch mode currently supports only remote files via URL.

If your schema changes frequently, you may want to automatically regenerate the output during development. To watch your input file for changes, enable input.watch mode in your configuration or pass the --watch flag to the CLI.

config

export default {
  input: {
    path: 'https://get.heyapi.dev/hey-api/backend',
    watch: true, 
  },
};

cli

npx @hey-api/openapi-ts \
  -i https://get.heyapi.dev/hey-api/backend \
  -o src/client \
  -w
