How to Remove Custom Tags from Swagger JSON in Python

When working with API documentation in Swagger, you often need to manage tags to keep your documentation organized. However, situations can arise where you need to remove certain tags from your Swagger JSON file. In this guide, we’ll explore how to effectively remove custom tags using Python.

Understanding the Problem

Consider the following scenario: you have a Swagger JSON file that includes a list of tags. Tags are used to group API endpoints, making it easier for developers to navigate the documentation. However, you might find yourself needing to remove specific tags (e.g., Tag3 and Tag5) from both the top-level tags list and from the tags associated with individual API paths.

Here’s a sample structure of the Swagger JSON you may encounter:

The goal here is to ensure that the specified tags are removed from the entire JSON structure seamlessly.

Solution Steps

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to achieve this in Python.

Step 1: Define Your Tags to Remove

First, you’ll need to specify which tags you want to remove. This can be done by defining a list of tags:

Conclusion

Removing tags from your Swagger JSON file is straightforward with Python. By iterating through the JSON structure and filtering out unwanted tags, you can maintain an organized and relevant API documentation.

Use this technique to easily manage your tags, cleaning up your Swagger files and making them more user-friendly for developers.
