FireTail is a framework on top of Flask that automagically handles HTTP requests defined using OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger), supporting both v2.0 and v3.0 of the specification.

FireTail allows you to write these specifications, then maps the endpoints to your Python functions. This is what makes it unique from other tools that generate the specification based on your Python code. You are free to describe your REST API with as much detail as you want and then FireTail guarantees that it will work as you specified. We built FireTail this way to:

  • Simplify the development process.
  • Reduce misinterpretation about what an API is going to look like.
