How to post files in Swagger (OpenAPI)?
finally i found answer for this, actually previously there is no support for file upload, now they updated swagger-ui.js file. You need to replace your old one with new and also you have to define these properties under Parameters for particular parameter:
"paramType": "body",
"dataType": "file",
OpenAPI Specification 2.0
In Swagger 2.0 (OpenAPI Specification 2.0), use a form parameter (in: formData
) with the type
set to file. Additionally, the operation's consumes
must be multipart/form-data
.
consumes:
- multipart/form-data
parameters:
- name: file
in: formData # <-----
description: The uploaded file data
required: true
type: file # <-----
OpenAPI Specification 3.0
In OpenAPI Specification 3.0, files are defined as binary strings, that is, type: string
+ format: binary
(or format: byte
, depending on the use case). File input/output content is described with the same semantics as any other schema type (unlike OpenAPI 2.0):
Multi-part request, single file:
requestBody:
content:
multipart/form-data:
schema:
type: object
properties:
# 'file' will be the field name in this multipart request
file:
type: string
format: binary
Multi-part request, array of files (supported in Swagger UI 3.26.0+ and Swagger Editor 3.10.0+):
requestBody:
content:
multipart/form-data:
schema:
type: object
properties:
# The property name 'file' will be used for all files.
file:
type: array
items:
type: string
format: binary
POST/PUT file directly (the request body is the file contents):
requestBody:
content:
application/octet-stream:
# any media type is accepted, functionally equivalent to `*/*`
schema:
# a binary file of any type
type: string
format: binary
Note: the semantics are the same as other OpenAPI 3.0 schema types:
# content transferred in binary (octet-stream):
schema:
type: string
format: binary

Mine seems to work with
"paramType": "formData",
"dataType": "file",
