Build a UI From a Swagger API

HardPython

Problem

Given a Swagger API, explain how you would build a user interface for it. For this coding exercise, implement build_ui_model to transform a Swagger specification into ordered endpoint models suitable for rendering forms and response information. Preserve path and method order, merge path-level and operation-level parameters, and choose the lowest successful HTTP status. Input is a Swagger-like dictionary; output is a list of operation dictionaries. Use the signature build_ui_model(swagger).

Constraints

swagger contains a paths dictionary.
Each path value is a dictionary containing HTTP method operations and optionally a parameters list.
Each operation contains dictionaries for parameters and responses when those fields are present.
There are between 1 and 1,000 paths and at most 2,000 operations.
Response keys are numeric HTTP status codes or nonnumeric names such as default.
A parameter is identified by its name and in location.

Function Signature

def build_ui_model(swagger):
