Python Overtakes JavaScript as Top Programming Language on GitHub
Python becomes GitHub's top language in 2024, driven by AI and data science projects, while AI-powered security tools are gaining adoption.
swagger-client
Advanced tools
The swagger-client npm package is a JavaScript client for Swagger/OpenAPI specifications. It allows you to interact with APIs described by Swagger/OpenAPI documents, making it easier to consume and interact with RESTful services.
Initialize Client
This feature allows you to initialize a Swagger client by providing the URL to the Swagger/OpenAPI specification. The client can then be used to interact with the API described by the specification.
const Swagger = require('swagger-client');
const client = new Swagger({ url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json' });
Make API Calls
This feature allows you to make API calls using the initialized client. In this example, the client is used to call the 'getPetById' operation from the Petstore API.
client.then(client => {
client.apis.pet.getPetById({ petId: 1 }).then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
});
Handle Authentication
This feature allows you to handle authentication by providing authorization details when initializing the client. In this example, an API key is provided for authentication.
const client = new Swagger({
url: 'http://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json',
authorizations: {
api_key: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('api_key', 'YOUR_API_KEY', 'query')
}
});
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. While it does not specifically target Swagger/OpenAPI specifications, it can be used to make HTTP requests to any API. Compared to swagger-client, axios is more general-purpose and does not provide built-in support for Swagger/OpenAPI documents.
openapi-client-axios is a package that combines the capabilities of Axios with OpenAPI specifications. It allows you to generate an Axios client from an OpenAPI document, similar to swagger-client. However, it leverages Axios for making HTTP requests, providing a more flexible and widely-used HTTP client.
swagger-js is another JavaScript client for Swagger/OpenAPI specifications. It provides similar functionality to swagger-client, allowing you to interact with APIs described by Swagger/OpenAPI documents. The main difference is in the implementation and API design, but both packages serve the same purpose.
Swagger Client is a JavaScript module that allows you to fetch, resolve, and interact with Swagger/OpenAPI documents.
This is the new version of swagger-js, 3.x. The new version supports Swagger 2.0 as well as OpenAPI 3.

The npm package is called
swagger-client
and the GitHub repository isswagger-js
. We'll be consolidating that soon. Just giving you the heads up. You may see references to both names.
The OpenAPI Specification has undergone multiple revisions since initial creation in 2010. Compatibility between Swagger Client and the OpenAPI Specification is as follows:
Swagger Client Version | Release Date | OpenAPI Spec compatibility | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
3.10.x | 2020-01-17 | 2.0, 3.0.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3 | tag v3.10.0 |
2.1.32 | 2017-01-12 | 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 | tag v2.1.32. This release is only available on GitHub. |
