I am currently using drf-spectacular for schema generation in my Django project.
I need to set the media type of the responses to application/octet-stream in the @extend_schema decorator, but I am not sure how to do this.
Could anyone provide guidance or examples on how to achieve this? Thank you in advance!
paths:
/file-download:
get:
summary: Download a file
description: This API endpoint allows users to download a binary file.
responses:
'200':
description: File downloaded successfully
content:
application/octet-stream:
schema:
type: string
format: binary
description: Binary file
Looks like this
When you use extend_schema decorator. Responses can be detailed further by providing a dictionary instead. This could be for example {201: YourResponseSerializer, ...} or {(200, 'application/pdf'): OpenApiTypes.BINARY, ...}.
