loopback-next - API explorer not working

[vijeta-singh]

Hi,

Today I have started with fresh installation of loopback-next and tried to implement simple hello world.
When I am accessing http://loopback.io/api-explorer/?url=http://localhost:3000/swagger.json
getting "Failed to load spec".

API are working fine when I am accessing from postman or browser.
Do I need to install another component for this,I have installed this "loopback-component-explorer": "^5.3.0" but no luck.

Thanks

Hi @vijeta-singh, with the recent move to OpenAPI 3, the URL has changed from swagger.json to openapi.json. You don't need to install anything new. Just do one of the following:

Try visiting http://loopback.io/api-explorer/?url=http://localhost:3000/openapi.json

You can also use the shortcut and visit localhost:3000/swagger-ui which will redirect you to the above link.

I can see api list here http://loopback.io/api-explorer/?url=http://localhost:3000/openapi.json

But localhost:3000/swagger-ui showing failed to load spec.

Thanks virkt25

if localhost:3000/swagger-ui isn't working, try clearing your browser cache. You're welcome @vijeta-singh !
