summary: >-
  There is no test-vs-live separation because there are no credentials and no
  accounts — the whole hosted service is effectively a sandbox. What the
  provider does publish is an interactive Swagger UI console served at the API
  host root, plus a self-hostable Docker image for teams that want a private
  instance.
console:
  url: https://generator3.swagger.io/
  kind: swagger-ui
  detail: >-
    The root of the API host serves a Swagger UI bundle wired to the service's
    own openapi.json, so every operation is callable from the browser with
    "Try it out". Fully open CORS makes those in-browser calls work against the
    live service.

  note: The 2.x generator console, backed by generator.swagger.io/api/swagger.json.

  detail: No API keys exist, so there are no test-mode key prefixes or modes to record.

  docs: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/blob/master/docs/docker.md
  detail: >-
    docs/docker.md walks through starting the container, POSTing a generation
    request to the container IP, and downloading the resulting zip — the
    supported way to run the generator API privately and without rate concerns.
safe_inputs:
  - value: https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
    kind: example-spec-url
    detail: >-
      The spec URL used in the project's own README examples; safe to pass as
      specURL when exercising generate/generateFromURL.

caveats:
  - >-
    Calls to the hosted console hit the same shared free instance real users
    hit. There is no isolated environment; self-host the Docker image for load.
  - >-
    Generation input is your OpenAPI definition. Do not paste a spec containing
    real credentials or internal hostnames into the public service.
