How to generate Retrofit client library from wp rest api using swagger

Question

I am creating android client for my WordPress website . Is there a way to generate retrofit 2 client library from wp rest client using swagger or is there any other tool to generate the same .

Answer 1

Citing from here, yes it is part of the existing codegen module of swagger:

The latest Java API client supports different HTTP client including Retrofit. To use Retrofit, please create a config.json file as follows:

{
  "library": "retrofit"
}

and pass config.json via -c in the command line

You can run java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar config-help -l java for more information on customizing the Java API client.

Answer 2

As per discussion with wp-api team they are not providing any HTTP client library for android and also they are not planning to provide the same .
