❓ FAQ

How do I send a request body?

apix aims to make use of pipelines as much as possible and takes the request body from stdin.

# Make a POST request to {base}/users with `my_req_body.json` as a body
cat my_req_body.json | apix post /users

How do I enable shell completion?

If you haven't already, add your completion directory to fpath:

# in .zshrc, or wherever
fpath=($HOME/.local/zsh-completions $fpath)
compinit

Then generate the completion script:

# if you're using zsh...
apix completion zsh > ~/.local/zsh-completions/_apix

How do I get it working with OAS?

APIX can do:

• json and yaml spec formats
• openapi versions 3.0.0 and 3.1.0
• remote and local specs

You can specify which spec belongs to which domain in config:

apix new myapi https://api.example.com --oas "https://api.example.domain/myOAS.json"
# ... or
apix new myapi https://api.example.com --oas "/local/path/to/myOAS.yaml"

Assuming you've set up shell completions, you should be able to <tab> complete your endpoints!
