The following methods and tools are commonly used to customize the appearance and behavior of Swagger UI in Python projects:

  • Configuration via files or parameters — for example, in flasgger or drf-yasg, you can set the title, description, API version, and themes.
  • UI customization — you can modify CSS, add logos, change color schemes, hide or show certain elements.
  • Using Swagger UI Options — parameters passed during Swagger UI initialization, such as docExpansion, defaultModelsExpandDepth, filter, and others.
  • Editing the OpenAPI specification — modifying descriptions, adding examples, and configuring schemas for more convenient display.

Example of configuring Swagger UI in Flask with flasgger:

from flasgger import Swagger
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)
swagger_config = {
    "headers": [],
    "specs": [
        {
            "endpoint": 'apispec_1',
            "route": '/apispec_1.json',
            "rule_filter": lambda rule: True,
            "model_filter": lambda tag: True,
        }
    ],
    "static_url_path": "/flasgger_static",
    "swagger_ui": True,
    "specs_route": "/swagger/"
}

swagger_template = {
    "info": {
        "title": "My API",
        "description": "API description",
        "version": "1.0.0"
    },
    "host": "localhost:5000",
    "basePath": "/",
    "schemes": ["http", "https"]
}

swagger = Swagger(app, config=swagger_config, template=swagger_template)

Thus, the configuration depends on the library used, but generally involves changing parameters and templates, as well as the ability to add custom styles and behaviors.
