Adding an API definition manually in swagger using springfox

Question

I am using springfox for generating Swagger API documentation for REST APIs exposed by a spring boot application.

I need to add documentation for an API manually for which there is no REST controller, technically. How can I manually add to the Swagger API documentation? I want to do it once from the code.

You can create it using plugins mechanism. Create ApiListingScannerPlugin to dynamic added ApiDescription and OperationModelsProviderPlugin to dynamic added Definitions
