# How to use Swagger Codegen for the integration via API
**Swagger Codegen** can generate code for many different programming languages. Some examples are Java, Python, JavaScript, Lua and PHP. More information can be found here:
## How to generate Java-Code with Swagger Codegen 2
1\) git clone (if necessary, install git before you execute this command)
2\) cd swagger-codegen
3\) mvn clean package (if necessary, install the newest version of Java and Apache Maven before you execute this command)
4\) mkdir ffng-java-client (You can choose this name or any other name for this directory. For convenience sake, we will refer to this directory as **ffng-java-client**)
5\) open **https\://\[your** **FactFinder** **setup here]/Fact-Finder/swagger-ui.html** (your FactFinder-URL with an appended **/swagger-ui.html**) in your favorite browser and copy the swagger-link that appears in the header of the page. In the example screenshot below, the linked text is **./rest/v5/swagger** (don't use the invalid URL that can be seen in the screenshot)
and execute:
java -jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i \[your swagger-link here] -l java -o ./ffng-java-client
You just generated example code for clients that can send all kinds of requests that FactFinder accepts.
6\) cd ffng-java-client
7\) copy the **Search with POST** code-example from **ffng-java-client/docs/SearchApi.md** into a java sourcecode file, for example **src/main/java/examplecompany/ExampleSearchClient.java** and insert necessary parts, like `package examplecompany;` and `public class ExampleSearchClient{`.
Make the generated classes, see (5), available in your project's classpath.
8a) fill in the correct credentials into the **basicAuth** part and delete the **OAuth2-part**
8b) set the correct name of the FactFinder channel.
8c) insert this or a similar code-snippet to set the search-query:
```language-plaintext
SearchParams searchParams= new SearchParams();
searchParams.setQuery("*");
searchRequest.setParams(searchParams);
```
9\) mvn clean install
10\) Run your first example search client. As maven was used to build the project, one easy way is to start your example search with maven, too:\
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=examplecompany.ExampleSearchClient
> (use mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass"=examplecompany.ExampleSearchClient if you are using **Window's Powershell**)
All other requests can be created in a similar manner. You can find code examples for them in the md-files in the generated docs-folder.
## How to generate Python-Code with Swagger CodeGen 2
1\) git clone (if necessary install git before you execute this command)
2\) cd swagger-codegen
3\) mvn clean package (if necessary install the newest version of Java and Apache Maven before you execute this command)
4\) mkdir ffng-python-client
5\) open **https:FactFinder setup here]/Fact-Finder/swagger-ui.html** (your FactFinder-URL with an appended **/swagger-ui.html**) in your favorite browser and copy the swagger-link that appears in the header of the page. In the example screenshot below, the linked text is **./rest/v5/swagger** (don't use the invalid URL that can be seen in the screenshot)
and execute:
-jar modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate -i \[your swagger-link here] -l python -o ./ffng-python-client
You just generated example code for clients that can send all kinds of requests that FactFinder accepts.
6\) cd ffng-python-client
7\) copy the **Search with POST** code-example from **ffng-python-client/docs/SearchApi.md** into a python sourcecode file, for example **my-example-search-client.py**
8a) insert the following python-code into your python file:
```language-python
class MyConfiguration(swagger_client.Configuration):
def auth_settings(self):
return {
'basicAuth':
{
'type': 'basic',
'in': 'header',
'key': 'Authorization',
'value': self.get_basic_auth_token()
}
}
```
8b) replace the line:
```language-python
configuration = swagger_client.Configuration()
```
with the line:
```language-python
configuration = MyConfiguration()
```
9a) fill in the correct credentials into the **basicAuth part** and delete the **OAuth2-part**
9b) set the correct name of the FactFinder channel.
9c) insert this or a similar code-snippet to set the search-query by replacing this line:
```language-python
search_request = swagger_client.SearchRequest()
```
by these 3 lines::
```language-python
query = "*"
search_params = swagger_client.SearchParams(query=query)
search_request = swagger_client.SearchRequest(search_params)
```
10. start your search-client and see the JSON-search result printed to standard-out.
All other requests can be created in a similar manner. You can find code examples for them in the md-files in the generated docs-folder.
