To download a JSON schema in Swagger, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Swagger UI in your web browser.
  2. Navigate to the endpoint for which you want to download the JSON schema.
  3. Click on the "Schema" button located next to the endpoint operation.
  4. This will display the JSON schema for the selected endpoint. Copy the entire schema.
  5. Open a text editor or an IDE and create a new file.
  6. Paste the copied schema into the new file.
  7. Save the file with a .json extension.


Alternatively, you can use the Swagger Editor to download a JSON schema. Here's how:

  1. Open the Swagger Editor in your web browser.
  2. Import your Swagger file.
  3. Click on the "Schema" button located next to the endpoint operation.
  4. This will display the JSON schema for the selected endpoint.
  5. Click on the "Download" button located on the top right corner of the page.
  6. Select the JSON format and click on the "Download" button.
  7. Save the downloaded file with a .json extension.


That's it! You now have a JSON schema downloaded from Swagger.

Just a clarification before we continue with the steps: Swagger is a tool for designing, building, and documenting RESTful APIs, whereas JSON schema is a way to describe and validate the structure of JSON data. In Swagger, you can retrieve the API definition in JSON format, but it might not be the same as a JSON schema.


If you mean downloading the API definition in JSON format from Swagger, here's how you can do it:

  1. Open the Swagger UI in your web browser.
  2. Navigate to the endpoint for which you want to download the JSON schema.
  3. Click on the "Export" button, usually located at the top right corner of the page.
  4. Select the "JSON" option from the available export formats.
  5. Save the downloaded file with a .json extension.


This will download the API definition, including the endpoint paths, request/response models, and other relevant information, in JSON format.


If you specifically want a JSON schema for a specific endpoint, you can generate it manually based on the API definition obtained from Swagger. The API definition will give you details about the request and response payloads, and you can use those details to create a JSON schema.
