48
+
49
+ ```bash
50
+ # Instead of this:
51
+ curl -X POST /api/users -d '{"name": "John", "address": {"city": "NYC", "state": "NY"}}'
52
+
53
+ # You get this:
54
+ mycli users create --name John --address.city NYC --address.state NY
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ No tool existed to take an OpenAPI spec and produce a typed Python CLI where nested request bodies are flattened into individual `--flag` arguments. Until now.
58
+
59
+ ## Why openapi-cli-gen?
60
+
61
+ - **Zero boilerplate** -- point at a spec, get a working CLI
62
+ - **Nested model flattening** -- `--address.city NYC` not `--data '{"address":{"city":"NYC"}}'`
63
+ - **Works at any depth** -- 1, 2, 3+ levels of nesting with automatic dot-notation
64
+ - **Arrays, dicts, enums** -- all handled (`--tags dev --tags lead`, `--env KEY=val`, `--role {admin,user}`)
65
+ - **Auth from your spec** -- reads `securitySchemes`, wires up `--token` + env vars automatically
66
+ - **Two modes** -- generate a pip-installable package OR run instantly without code generation
67
+ - **Pluggable** -- use standalone or plug API commands into your existing CLI
68
+
69
+ ## Quick Start
70
+
71
+ ```bash
72
+ pip install openapi-cli-gen
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ ### Generate a CLI Package
76
+
77
+ ```bash
78
+ openapi-cli-gen generate --spec https://api.example.com/openapi.json --name mycli
79
+ cd mycli && pip install -e .
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Now your users can:
83
+
84
+ ```bash
85
+ mycli users list
86
+ mycli users create --name John --email john@example.com --address.city NYC
87
+ mycli jobs create --retry.backoff.strategy exponential --retry.backoff.initial-delay-ms 2000
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ ### Run Instantly (No Code Generation)
91
+
92
+ Don't want to generate files? Point directly at any spec:
93
+
94
+ ```bash
95
+ openapi-cli-gen run --spec api.yaml users list --limit 10
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ ### Inspect a Spec
99
+
100
+ See what commands would be generated before committing:
101
+
102
+ ```bash
103
+ $ openapi-cli-gen inspect --spec api.yaml
104
+
105
+ API: My API v1.0
106
+ Endpoints: 14
107
+ Groups: 6
108
+ Auth schemes: 2
109
+
110
+ users:
111
+ GET /users List all users
112
+ POST /users Create a new user [body]
113
+ GET /users/{user_id} Get a user by ID
114
+ orders:
115
+ POST /orders Create an order [body]
116
+ ...
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ ## The Core Feature: Nested Model Flattening
120
+
121
+ This is what makes openapi-cli-gen different from every other tool. Your API has nested request bodies -- we flatten them into ergonomic CLI flags:
122
+
123
+ ```bash
124
+ # Depth 1: address nested inside user
125
+ mycli users create --name John --address.city NYC --address.state NY
126
+
127
+ # Depth 2: CEO nested inside company
128
+ mycli companies create --name Acme --ceo.name Bob --ceo.email bob@acme.com
129
+
130
+ # Depth 3: backoff nested inside retry nested inside job config
131
+ mycli jobs create --name etl --retry.backoff.strategy exponential --retry.backoff.initial-delay-ms 2000
132
+
133
+ # JSON fallback for anything complex
134
+ mycli users create --address '{"street": "123 Main", "city": "NYC"}'
135
+
136
+ # Mix both -- dot-notation overrides JSON
137
+ mycli users create --address '{"city": "NYC"}' --address.city SF # city=SF wins
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ ### Arrays
141
+
142
+ ```bash
143
+ # Repeated flags for primitives
144
+ mycli users create --tags admin --tags reviewer
145
+ # Or comma-separated
146
+ mycli users create --tags admin,reviewer
147
+ # Or JSON
148
+ mycli users create --tags '["admin", "reviewer"]'
149
+
150
+ # JSON for arrays of objects
151
+ mycli orders create --items '[{"product_id": "abc", "quantity": 2}]'
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ### Dicts
155
+
156
+ ```bash
157
+ # Key=value syntax
158
+ mycli jobs create --environment JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm --environment PATH=/usr/bin
159
+ # Or JSON
160
+ mycli jobs create --environment '{"JAVA_HOME": "/usr/lib/jvm"}'
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ ### Enums
164
+
165
+ ```bash
166
+ mycli users create --role admin # choices shown in --help: {admin, user, viewer}
167
+ mycli users create --role superadmin # ValidationError: Input should be 'admin', 'user' or 'viewer'
168
+ ```
169
+
170
+ ## As a Library
171
+
172
+ ### Build a full CLI from a spec
173
+
174
+ ```python
175
+ from openapi_cli_gen import build_cli
176
+
177
+ app = build_cli(spec="openapi.yaml", name="mycli")
178
+ app()
179
+ ```
180
+
181
+ ### Plug API commands into your existing CLI
182
+
183
+ Already have a CLI with custom commands? Add auto-generated API commands alongside them:
184
+
185
+ ```python
186
+ from openapi_cli_gen import build_command_group
187
+
188
+ # Returns {group: {command: CommandInfo}}
189
+ registry = build_command_group(spec="openapi.yaml", name="mycli")
190
+ # Integrate with your existing argparse-based CLI
191
+ ```
192
+
193
+ ## Authentication
194
+
195
+ Auth auto-configures from your spec's `securitySchemes`:
196
+
197
+ ```bash
198
+ # Via environment variable (recommended for CI/CD)
199
+ export MYCLI_TOKEN=sk-xxx
200
+ mycli users list
201
+
202
+ # Via flag (overrides env var)
203
+ mycli users list --token sk-xxx
204
+ ```
205
+
206
+ | Spec scheme | CLI flag | Env var |
207
+ |---|---|---|
208
+ | Bearer token | `--token` | `{NAME}_TOKEN` |
209
+ | API key | `--api-key` | `{NAME}_API_KEY` |
210
+ | Basic auth | `--username`, `--password` | `{NAME}_USERNAME`, `{NAME}_PASSWORD` |
211
+
212
+ ## How It Works
213
+
214
+ ```
215
+ Your OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON)
216
+ |
217
+ v
218
+ 1. Load & resolve all $ref references (jsonref)
219
+ 2. Parse into typed models (openapi-pydantic)
220
+ 3. Group endpoints by tag -> command groups
221
+ 4. Flatten request body schemas into CLI flags (pydantic-settings)
222
+ 5. Build CLI with dispatch: mycli <group> <command> --flags
223
+ |
224
+ v
225
+ Working CLI in seconds
226
+ ```

79
+ ## The Core Feature: Nested Model Flattening
80
+
81
+ This is what makes openapi-cli-gen different from every other tool. Your API has nested request bodies -- we flatten them into ergonomic CLI flags:
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ # Depth 1: address nested inside user
85
+ mycli users create --name John --address.city NYC --address.state NY
86
+
87
+ # Depth 2: CEO nested inside company
88
+ mycli companies create --name Acme --ceo.name Bob --ceo.email bob@acme.com
89
+
90
+ # Depth 3: backoff nested inside retry nested inside job config
91
+ mycli jobs create --name etl --retry.backoff.strategy exponential --retry.backoff.initial-delay-ms 2000
92
+
93
+ # JSON fallback for anything complex
94
+ mycli users create --address '{"street": "123 Main", "city": "NYC"}'
95
+
96
+ # Mix both -- dot-notation overrides JSON
97
+ mycli users create --address '{"city": "NYC"}' --address.city SF # city=SF wins
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ ### Arrays
101
+
102
+ ```bash
103
+ # Repeated flags for primitives
104
+ mycli users create --tags admin --tags reviewer
105
+ # Or comma-separated
106
+ mycli users create --tags admin,reviewer
107
+ # Or JSON
108
+ mycli users create --tags '["admin", "reviewer"]'
109
+
110
+ # JSON for arrays of objects
111
+ mycli orders create --items '[{"product_id": "abc", "quantity": 2}]'
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ ### Dicts
115
+
116
+ ```bash
117
+ # Key=value syntax
118
+ mycli jobs create --environment JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm --environment PATH=/usr/bin
119
+ # Or JSON
120
+ mycli jobs create --environment '{"JAVA_HOME": "/usr/lib/jvm"}'
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ ### Enums
124
+
125
+ ```bash
126
+ mycli users create --role admin # choices shown in --help: {admin, user, viewer}
127
+ mycli users create --role superadmin # ValidationError: Input should be 'admin', 'user' or 'viewer'
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ ## As a Library
131
+
132
+ ### Build a full CLI from a spec
133
+
134
+ ```python
135
+ from openapi_cli_gen import build_cli
136
+
137
+ app = build_cli(spec="openapi.yaml", name="mycli")
138
+ app()
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ ### Plug API commands into your existing CLI
142
+
143
+ Already have a CLI with custom commands? Add auto-generated API commands alongside them:
144
+
145
+ ```python
146
+ from openapi_cli_gen import build_command_group
147
+
148
+ # Returns {group: {command: CommandInfo}}
149
+ registry = build_command_group(spec="openapi.yaml", name="mycli")
150
+ # Integrate with your existing argparse-based CLI
151
+ ```
152
+
153
+ ## Authentication
154
+
155
+ Auth auto-configures from your spec's `securitySchemes`:
156
+
157
+ ```bash
158
+ # Via environment variable (recommended for CI/CD)
159
+ export MYCLI_TOKEN=sk-xxx
160
+ mycli users list
161
+
162
+ # Via flag (overrides env var)
163
+ mycli users list --token sk-xxx
164
+ ```
165
+
166
+ | Spec scheme | CLI flag | Env var |
167
+ |---|---|---|
168
+ | Bearer token | `--token` | `{NAME}_TOKEN` |
169
+ | API key | `--api-key` | `{NAME}_API_KEY` |
170
+ | Basic auth | `--username`, `--password` | `{NAME}_USERNAME`, `{NAME}_PASSWORD` |
171
+
172
+ ## How It Works
173
+
174
+ ```
175
+ Your OpenAPI spec (YAML/JSON)
176
+ |
177
+ v
178
+ 1. Load & resolve all $ref references (jsonref)
179
+ 2. Parse into typed models (openapi-pydantic)
180
+ 3. Group endpoints by tag -> command groups
181
+ 4. Flatten request body schemas into CLI flags (pydantic-settings)
182
+ 5. Build CLI with dispatch: mycli <group> <command> --flags
183
+ |
184
+ v
185
+ Working CLI in seconds
186
+ ```
