Swagger: disabling security on one particular path

Question

I have a Swagger file that starts with the following

{
    "swagger": "2.0",
    "basePath": "/api",
    "schemes": [
        "https"
    ],
    "securityDefinitions": {
        "internalApiKey": {
            "type": "apiKey",
            "name": "AAuthorization",
            "in": "header"
        }
    },
    "security" : [
        { "internalApiKey": [ ] }
    ],

This prolog applies the security setting to every path that follows in the file. Eg.

"paths": {
    "/foo": {
        "get": {  

Is there some way I can disable security on just ONE particular Path or Method?

Answer 1

Sure. Simply add the "security" property to operation with an empty array [] as a value.

So something like

{
  "tags": [
    "pet"
  ],
  "summary": "Updates a pet in the store with form data",
  "description": "",
  "operationId": "updatePetWithForm",
  "consumes": [
    "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
  ],
  "produces": [
    "application/json",
    "application/xml"
  ],
  "parameters": [
    {
      "name": "petId",
      "in": "path",
      "description": "ID of pet that needs to be updated",
      "required": true,
      "type": "string"
    }
  ],
  "responses": {
    "200": {
      "description": "Pet updated."
    }
  },
  "security": [

  ]
}

would nullify the security for this operation.
