Feature: Show API output without entering credentials

[brycefisher]

Currently, one must enter their credentials into quay API Explorer to see the output of an endpoint. I'm not 100% comfortable entering my credentials there...

I'm only a little familiar with swagger, but it would be really nice to see some json or some indication of what the endpoints will output.

Are you using Quay.io or Quay Enterprise? Are you running your own docs container?

The swagger page uses OAuth and client-side ajax requests to do everything. It's safe to enter your credentials as they'll only ever be on your machine.

Quay.io, not using the docs container. Yeah, I hear you.

It would be nice to be able to read what the output would be without having to trigger all of those conditionals, even just from a usability perspective and forgetting about security issues.

Does swagger not support that?

[josephschorr]

Swagger does support it but it requires having every API endpoint explicitly define the union of its various outputs, which is quite tedious to maintain. We'll give some more thought as to how we can go about doing so.

Yikes! That sounds like it could go horribly out of date quickly.

Hmm, is it possible to extract sample (dumby) response from your source code automatically?
