Is there a way to import the schema you’ve set up for an endpoint into your workspace? As I understand it, right now (build 25572) the schema that you define in Flow is only used to generate the documentation and you can copy and paste from there of course, but that still feels a bit unpolished.

Hey Hans,
Usually, OpenAPI/Swagger provides a route to a JSON description document that could be used for this. Something like :
/swagger.json
/openapi.json
/openapi/v1.json
/api-docs
/api-docs.json
Unfortunately, FME Flow DV APIs doesn’t seem to have one.
Ideally, you should be able to use the OpenAPICaller with your FME Flow API, but that doesn’t seem possible at the moment.
Yeah, I saw there was an option to download the OpenAPI description but that makes a call to v4 of the FME Flow API and that’s not implemented yet.
And to be honest, even with that I’m not sure it would be of use. Unless I’m mistaken, you still have to construct the API response yourself, so either JSONTemplater or AttributeManager. That’s where I’d like to see an easy way of importing the structure in to.
Just throwing an idea out there… Could it be added automatically, in an annotation, to the workspace that’s being generated by Flow?
Oh hang on, it turns out that it does actually save the OpenAPI spec for a specific endpoint:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\FME\Data Virtualization APIs\<Flow name>\<API name>\<Workspace name>\OpenAPISpec\
Flow name is the name of the web connection used to connect to it.
