📦 How to use openapi-to-cli

openapi-to-cli works by loading an API definition (called an OpenAPI or Swagger file) and converting it into commands.

Load an API file

To load an API, you need a URL or a file path for its OpenAPI definition.

If you have a file called api.json:

openapi-to-cli load api.json

If you have a URL:

openapi-to-cli load https://example.com/api/openapi.json

Run commands

After loading, openapi-to-cli shows the available commands. Each command corresponds to an API endpoint.
