Example Workflow

name: APITransformer
on: [push]

jobs:
  Test_Transformer:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Testing API Transformer Action
    steps:
      # you must check out the repository
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
      - name: APIMATIC Transformer
        uses: apimatic/[email protected]
        id: raml
        with:
         auth: ${{ secrets.AUTH }}
         inputURL: 'https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json'
         exportFormat: 'raml'
     # Use the Transformed API Spec as output from our action (id:raml)
      - name: Get the API Spec URL
        run: echo "${{ steps.raml.outputs.specurl }}"
        
      - name: APIMATIC Transformer
        uses: apimatic/[email protected]
        id: wsdl
        with:

         inputURL: 'https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json'
         exportFormat: 'wsdl'
     # Use the Transformed API Spec as output from our action (id:raml)

        run: echo "${{ steps.wsdl.outputs.specurl }}"

It is recommended to create an encrypted secret for the APIMatic API token (auth).

Inputs

The input parameter that is passed in the workflow is the Basic Authorization token, It is highly recommended to store the AUTH token in GitHub Secrets.

You can create your Basic Authorization token from this website

It will generate a string like this for you: Authorization: Basic cmFuZG9tQGdtYWlsLmNvbTpyYW5kb20=

Make sure to add the complete string Authorization: Basic cmFuZG9tQGdtYWlsLmNvbTpyYW5kb20= in your secret as shown in the image below.

• auth: (Required) The API Token which is needed for authorization. Register an APIMatic account and purchase a subscription to be authorized with you email and password.
• inputURL: (Required) API Specification URL where the specification that needs to be transformed is located
• exportFormat: (Required) Required API Specification format for the list of supported formats mentioned above

You can either pass the inputURL and exportFormat as arguments to the action as shown in the workflow or you can just create transform.json file as mentioned below.

There are three other inputs that are passed to this action if you create a transform.json file to pass fileUrl, exportFormat and codeGenVersion:

• fileUrl
• exportFormat
• codeGenVersion

You need to create a json file named transform.json with API Specification URL specified against fileUrl, Required Format against exportFormat and codeGenVersion as 1.

Outputs

• specurl: URL of the newly generated API Specification with the required format passed through the arugment exportFormat

Note: The output is the API Specification URL which can be used to download the transformed API specification in the required format but this URL only works with authorization therefore user need to login to APIMATIC and then launch this URL
