Configuration

Client Configuration

You can configure certain behaviours when creating a SwaggerClient.

bravado and bravado-core use the same config dict. The full documentation for bravado-core config keys is available too.

from bravado.client import SwaggerClient, SwaggerFormat

my_super_duper_format = SwaggerFormat(...)

config = {
    # === bravado config ===

    # Determines what is returned by the service call.
    'also_return_response': False,

    # === bravado-core config ====

    #  validate incoming responses
    'validate_responses': True,

    # validate outgoing requests
    'validate_requests': True,

    # validate the swagger spec
    'validate_swagger_spec': True,

    # Use models (Python classes) instead of dicts for #/definitions/{models}
    'use_models': True,

    # List of user-defined formats
    'formats': [my_super_duper_format],

}

client = SwaggerClient.from_url(..., config=config)

Config key	Type	Default	Description
also_return_response	boolean	False	Determines what is returned by the service call. Specifically, the return value of HttpFuture.result(). When False, the swagger result is returned. When True, the tuple (swagger result, http response) is returned. Has no effect on the return value of HttpFuture.response(). See Getting access to the HTTP response.

Per-request Configuration

Configuration can also be applied on a per-request basis by passing in _request_options to the service call.

client = SwaggerClient.from_url(...)
request_options = { ... }
client.pet.getPetById(petId=42, _request_options=request_options).response().result

Config key	Type	Default	Description
connect_timeout	float	N/A	TCP connect timeout in seconds. This is passed along to the http_client when making a service call.
headers	dict	N/A	Dict of http headers to to send with the outgoing request.
response_callbacks	list of callables	[]	List of callables that are invoked after the incoming response has been validated and unmarshalled but before being returned to the calling client. This is useful for client decorators that would like to hook into the post-receive event. The callables are executed in the order they appear in the list. Two parameters are passed to each callable: - incoming_response of type bravado_core.response.IncomingResponse - operation of type bravado_core.operation.Operation
timeout	float	N/A	TCP idle timeout in seconds. This is passed along to the http_client when making a service call.
use_msgpack	boolean	False	If a msgpack serialization is desired for the response. This will add a Accept: application/msgpack header to the request.
