Hi arjunrajas005,
Could you describe the steps you took to get to where you are now? That would help us determine how to get you the expected results.
Otherwise, here is a set of steps I wrote up the other day to download, install, and run the Swagger editor & UI locally:
Here’s how you can download and run the Swagger Editor locally. It’s not as simple as downloading a .exe file and running it, you’ll need to download it using git, compile it using Node/npm, and run it using npm again.
First you’ll need to make sure you have these installed on your machine:
- - Git
- - Node.js
- - Npm (Node Package Manager)
Node.js and npm can be downloaded here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Next, you’ll want to run these commands from your terminal/command prompt (be sure you run them in the folder where you want to run the Swagger Editor from as it will download all the files from GitHub):
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor.git
cd swagger-editor
npm install
npm run build
npm start
You’ll know it’s ready to be used when you see a message like this:
Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
Once you see this message, simply put the 127.0.0.1:XYZ address into your browser and you should see the editor.
There is also a way to run the editor locally using a docker image. You can find the instructions to do that here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor
Let us know if you have any more questions,

Hi arjunrajas005,
Just for our understanding, are you trying to make API calls from Postman to your Swagger editor instance? This would not work. The Swagger editor is an open source tool that is a combination of 3 parts: a text editor, an OAS YAML/JSON validator (to check your API meets OAS standards), and the Swagger UI. There is no functionality on the editor that would allow you to interface with it using API calls.
If you're looking for that functionality, I would suggest you take a look at SwaggerHub, specifically the auto-mocking feature. With SwaggerHub, you'd get the full Swagger editor, as well as a tool that spins up a virtual server so you can test your API definitions. You can read more about this feature in the link below:

Let me know if you have any more questions,

- Yes, docker is easiest way in local machine get us going quick.
