Library

from openapi_markdown.generator import to_markdown

apiFile = "./tests/openapi.json"
outputFile = "api_doc.md"
templatesDir = "templates"
options = {
    'filter_paths': ['/client']
}

to_markdown(apiFile, outputFile, templates_dir, options)

• If you want to use your own template, creates 'templates' directory and put api_doc_template.md.j2 file in it.
• You can change templates directory by passing it as the 3rd argument of to_markdown.

Default templates

There are internal templates you can use. If not set default is used.

• templates - default
• templates/embed - prints objects hierarchially as list in every request/response
