How to specify request headers for a post method

I have a method like the following in my spring boot based web service. I am trying to generate open api spec for the following using swagger core annotations. I would like to add all the acceptable headers to the spec file. I am wondering how to do that with annotations. 

 

@POST
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + ";charset=UTF-8" })
@Operation(description = "This is my api")
//1. overall Header annotations
public Response post(@Context HttpHeaders headers,  //2. header parameters
@Context UriInfo uriInfo,
@RequestBody MyRequest myRequest) {

 

I am wondering where to put the annotations to list the headers. Also how to list all the headers. I saw many examples of headers in ApiResponse, but i am trying to add request header.

 

Thanks

    You can do the following in the @Operation annotation over your method

    @Operation(description = "This is my api",
    parameters = {
    @Parameter(in = ParameterIn.HEADER,
        name = "X-Version",
        description = "The API Version",
        required = true,
        schema = @Schema(type = "string"))}
)

    You can also specify more details to the @Parameter or @Schema annotations if required.

    Checkout the last section of Operation documentation

     

    The above annotation showed up this way in my app's documentation
