## About

Openapi-core is a Python library that provides client-side and server-side support
for the [OpenAPI v3.0](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.3.md)
and [OpenAPI v3.1](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/versions/3.1.0.md)
and [OpenAPI v3.2](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/main/versions/3.2.0.md) specifications.

## Key features

- **Validation** and **unmarshalling** of request and response data (including webhooks)
- **Integration** with popular libraries (Requests, Werkzeug) and frameworks (Django, Falcon, Flask, Starlette)
- Customization with media type **deserializers** and format **unmarshallers**
- **Security** data providers (API keys, Cookie, Basic, and Bearer HTTP authentications)

## Documentation

Check documentation to see more details about the features. All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at [openapi-core.readthedocs.io](https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io)

## Installation

Recommended way (via pip):

``` console
pip install openapi-core
```

Alternatively you can download the code and install from the repository:

``` console
pip install -e git+https://github.com/python-openapi/openapi-core.git#egg=openapi_core
```

## First steps

First, create your OpenAPI object.

``` python
from openapi_core import OpenAPI

openapi = OpenAPI.from_file_path('openapi.json')
```

Now you can use it to validate and unmarshal against requests and/or responses.

``` python
# raises an error if the request is invalid
result = openapi.unmarshal_request(request)
```

Retrieve validated and unmarshalled request data.

``` python
# get parameters
path_params = result.parameters.path
query_params = result.parameters.query
cookies_params = result.parameters.cookies
headers_params = result.parameters.headers
# get body
body = result.body
# get security data
security = result.security
```

The request object should implement the OpenAPI Request protocol. Check [Integrations](https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/integrations/) to find officially supported implementations.

For more details read about the [Unmarshalling](https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unmarshalling/) process.

If you just want to validate your request/response data without unmarshalling, read about [Validation](https://openapi-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validation/) instead.
