One Swagger for VS Code 🚀

Universal 1-Tap API Documentation Explorer & Interactive Request Runner inside VS Code

One Swagger brings the full power of Swagger UI, OpenAPI exploration, and API testing directly into Visual Studio Code — with zero CORS restrictions, full $ref resolution, request history, and client code snippet generation.


Features ✨

  • Universal OpenAPI Explorer: Seamlessly parses OpenAPI 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.1 specifications from live URLs or workspace files (openapi.json, swagger.yaml).
  • Interactive Request Playground: Live execution with parameter tables, schema-derived sample request bodies, and custom headers.
  • Method-Tinted Accordions: Authentic Swagger UI styling (GET Blue, POST Green, PUT Orange, DELETE Red, PATCH Teal).
  • Dark Code Response Inspector: Live status badges, response latency, formatted dark JSON viewers, headers inspection, and 1-click copy/download.
  • Universal Authentication: OAuth2 password flow, Bearer JWT, and API Key support with 1-click interactive lock icons on route headers.
  • Request History: Local logging, search filter, date grouping, JSON export, and 1-click replay.
  • Client Code Generator: Generate instant snippets for cURL, Fetch, Axios, Python requests, and Go.
  • Zero-CORS: Uses VS Code's Extension Host Node.js runtime to execute requests without browser CORS limitations.
  • Activity Bar & Full Editor Tab: Open One Swagger as an editor tab or dock it in your Activity Bar sidebar.
