+ # SpecSentinel
22
+
23
+ Your OpenAPI spec says one thing. Your API does another. SpecSentinel calls the running API, compares every answer with the spec and tells you where they disagree.
24
+
25
+ It reports three kinds of drift:
26
+
27
+ * missing fields
28
+ * wrong data types
29
+ * undocumented status codes
30
+
31
+ Exit code 0 means spec and API match. Exit code 1 means drift. Exit code 2 means the check could not be completed. That makes it a one line gate in a CI/CD pipeline.
32
+
33
+ ## Install
34
+
35
+ Python 3.9 or newer.
36
+
37
+ ```
38
+ pip install git+https://github.com/b6bs62fhys-jpg/specsentinel
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ Or from a clone of this repository:
42
+
43
+ ```
44
+ pip install .
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ ## Try it in one minute
48
+
49
+ The repository ships a demo API that drifts from its spec on purpose.
50
+
51
+ ```
52
+ python examples/demo_server.py &
53
+ specsentinel examples/petstore.yaml --url http://127.0.0.1:8099
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ Real output:
57
+
58
+ ```
59
+ SpecSentinel 0.1.0
60
+ Spec: examples/petstore.yaml
61
+ Target: http://127.0.0.1:8099
62
+
63
+ GET /health 200 OK
64
+ GET /pets 200 OK
65
+ GET /pets/{petId} 200 DRIFT
66
+ error MISSING_FIELD body.name
67
+ required field is missing in the response
68
+ error TYPE_MISMATCH body.id
69
+ expected integer, got string
70
+ warning UNDOCUMENTED_FIELD body.breed
71
+ field is returned but not described in the spec
72
+ GET /stats 503 DRIFT
73
+ error UNDOCUMENTED_STATUS status
74
+ status 503 is not documented (documented: 200)
75
+ GET /owners/{ownerId} - SKIPPED
76
+ no example value for path parameter 'ownerId' (pass --param ownerId=VALUE)
77
+
78
+ 4 checked, 2 with drift, 1 skipped, 0 failed
79
+ Result: DRIFT (exit code 1)
80
+ ```
81
+
82
+ Start the demo with `--conform` and the same command ends with `Result: MATCH (exit code 0)`.
83
+
84
+ ## Exit codes
85
+
86
+ | Code | Meaning |
87
+ |------|---------|
88
+ | 0 | Every checked operation matches the spec |
89
+ | 1 | At least one operation drifts from the spec |
90
+ | 2 | The check could not be completed: bad spec, bad arguments, API unreachable, or nothing could be checked |
91
+
92
+ Code 2 is deliberately not 0. A pipeline should never turn green because nothing was actually checked.
93
+
94
+ ## What counts as drift
95
+
96
+ | Finding | Severity | Meaning |
97
+ |---------|----------|---------|
98
+ | UNDOCUMENTED_STATUS | error | The API answered with a status code the spec does not list. Ranges like 4XX and `default` are honored. |
99
+ | MISSING_FIELD | error | A field marked required in the spec is not in the response. |
100
+ | TYPE_MISMATCH | error | A value has a different JSON type than the spec says. `nullable` and type lists are understood. |
101
+ | ENUM_MISMATCH | error | A value is not one of the enum values in the spec. |
102
+ | UNDOCUMENTED_CONTENT_TYPE | error | The response content type is not listed for that status. |
103
+ | INVALID_JSON | error | The spec promises JSON but the body is not valid JSON. |
104
+ | EMPTY_BODY | error | The spec documents a body but the response is empty. |
105
+ | NO_SCHEMA_MATCH | error | A value fits none of the oneOf or anyOf alternatives. |
106
+ | UNDOCUMENTED_FIELD | warning | A field is returned that the spec does not describe. An error when the schema sets `additionalProperties: false`. |
107
+
108
+ Warnings do not fail the run. Add `--strict` and they do.
109
+
110
+ ## Options
111
+
112
+ ```
113
+ specsentinel SPEC --url BASE_URL [options]
114
+
115
+ SPEC path or URL of the OpenAPI 3.x document, YAML or JSON
116
+ --url BASE_URL base URL of the running API
117
+ -H, --header 'N: v' header sent with every request, repeatable
118
+ --param NAME=VALUE value for a path or query parameter, repeatable
119
+ --params-file FILE YAML or JSON file with parameter values
120
+ --timeout SECONDS wait per request, default 10
121
+ --strict treat warnings as drift
122
+ --format text|json output format, default text
123
+ --version
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ Use `--format json` when another tool should read the result.
127
+
128
+ ## How requests are built
129
+
130
+ SpecSentinel sends GET requests only. Methods that change data could damage the API under test, so they are out of scope by design.
131
+
132
+ Parameter values come from the spec: `example`, `examples`, the schema `example`, `default`, or the first `enum` value. A path parameter without any of these cannot be filled in automatically. That operation is reported as SKIPPED with the exact `--param` to pass. Skipped operations do not fail the run.
133
+
134
+ ### Params file
135
+
136
+ Large APIs have many operations with path parameters. Put the values in a file instead of a long command line:
137
+
138
+ ```yaml
139
+ # params.yaml
140
+ petId: 1 # used by every operation with a parameter called petId
141
+ ownerId: 7
142
+ GET /pets/{petId}: # applies to this one operation only
143
+ petId: 42
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ ```
147
+ specsentinel openapi.yaml --url https://staging.example.com --params-file params.yaml
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ Order of precedence, later wins: spec example, params file, params file entry for one operation, `--param` on the command line.
151
+
152
+ For authentication pass the header yourself:
153
+
154
+ ```
155
+ specsentinel openapi.yaml --url https://staging.example.com \
156
+ --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN"
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ ## GitHub Actions
160
+
161
+ ```yaml
162
+ name: API contract
163
+ on: [push, pull_request]
164
+
165
+ jobs:
166

175
+ specsentinel openapi.yaml
176
+ --url https://staging.example.com
177
+ --header "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN }}"
178
+ ```
179
+
180
+ When the API drifts, exit code 1 fails the step and the build goes red.
181
+
182
+ ## Tested against real specifications
183
+
184
+
185
+ The schema checks were run against the public OpenAPI descriptions of Swagger Petstore, GitHub and Stripe: 920 GET operations and 2032 documented JSON responses in total. For every response a conforming example was generated from its schema and fed through the checker. It produced no findings and no crashes.
186
+
187
+
188
+ You can repeat the run yourself with `python tools/spec_smoke.py <spec file or URL>`. The exact output is in `docs/smoke_results.md`.
189
+
190
+
191
+ The generator and the checker share the same reading of the schema, so this run shows that the checker raises no false alarms on large real specifications. It does not show that every kind of drift is caught, and it does not replace running SpecSentinel against your own live API.
192
+
193
+
194
+ ## Limits of this version
195
+
196
+ This is an early release. Known limits:
197
+
198
+ * GET operations only
199
+ * JSON response bodies only, other content types are not compared
200
+ * response headers are not compared
201
+ * only local `$ref` references, no references to other files
202
+ * allOf is merged, oneOf and anyOf pass when any alternative fits
203
+ * no string formats, lengths or numeric ranges yet
204
+
205
+ Feedback on which check should come next is very welcome. Open an issue.
