The CLI accepts a URL or input file for an OpenAPI specification and writes ready-to-run .http files to disk. It can generate one request per file, one file per tag, or a single combined file. Generated requests can include content type variables, path parameter variables, request summaries, descriptions, sample payloads, and custom headers. ``` Generate .http files from OpenAPI specifications Usage: httpgenerator [URL or input file] [OPTIONS] Arguments: [URL or input file] URL or file path to OpenAPI Specification file Options: -o, --output Output directory [default: ./] --no-logging Don't log errors or collect telemetry --skip-validation Skip validation of OpenAPI Specification file --authorization-header
Authorization header to use for all requests --load-authorization-header-from-environment Load the authorization header from an environment variable or define it in the .http file.

Use this if the OpenAPI spec doesn't explicitly specify a server URL. --output-type OneRequestPerFile generates one .http file per request. OneFile generates a single .http file for all requests. OneFilePerTag generates one .http file per first tag associated with each request. [default: OneRequestPerFile] [possible values: OneRequestPerFile, OneFile, OneFilePerTag] --azure-scope Azure Entra ID Scope to use for retrieving Access Token for Authorization header --azure-tenant-id Azure Entra ID Tenant ID to use for retrieving Access Token for Authorization header --timeout Timeout (in seconds) for writing files to disk [default: 120] --generate-intellij-tests Generate IntelliJ tests that assert whether the response status code is 200 --custom-header
