Hi RoyDavinci 

 

It's not recommended practice to return different responses for the same request. But here is the simplest approach (assumes you're using OpenAPI 3.x, not OpenAPI/Swagger 2.0)...

 

Using `oneOf`.

You can use the `oneOf` keyword for when your response is one of the following. Eg:

      responses:
        '200':
          description: Multiple response types
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                oneOf:
                - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Dog'
                - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Cat'
                - $ref: '#/components/schemas/Hamster'
