  It’s straight-forward enough to do in back-end code, to just reject a query if parameters are missing, but I don’t think there’s a way to define a schema that then gets used to auto-generate the documentation and validate the requests. If the request isn’t validated, then the back-end never sees it.

  For something like https://freamon.github.io/piefed-api/#/Misc/get_api_alpha_search, the docs show that ‘q’ and ‘type_’ are required, and everything else is optional. The schema definition looks like:

  /api/alpha/search:
      get:
        parameters:
          - in: query
            name: q
            schema:
              type: string
            required: true
          - in: query
            name: type_
            schema:
              type: string
              enum:
                - Communities
                - Posts
                - Users
                - Url
            required: true
          - in: query
            name: limit
            schema:
              type: integer
            required: false
  

  required is a simple boolean for each individual field - you can say every field is required, or no fields are required, but I haven’t come across a way to say that at least one field is required.

    Ah, I see, so you are talking about this.

    Of course it is nice if things get auto-generated, but doing it yourself, both in code and documentation should never be excluded as an option.

      Exactly that, yeah. Thank you for the link.
