Example Application
from apispec import APISpec
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from marshmallow import Schema, fields
# Create an APISpec
spec = APISpec(

id = fields.Int()
name = fields.Str(required=True)
class PetSchema(Schema):
category = fields.Nested(CategorySchema, many=True)
name = fields.Str()
# Optional Flask support
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/random')
def random_pet():
"""A cute furry animal endpoint.

pet = get_random_pet()
return jsonify(PetSchema().dump(pet).data)
ctx = app.test_request_context()
ctx.push()
# Register entities and paths
