Originally created by @thomasmol on GitHub (Apr 3, 2025).

Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. create backend with default auth config + OpenAPI plugin
  2. get the schema in json const schema = await auth.api.generateOpenAPISchema()
  3. validate the json at e.g. https://editor.swagger.io

Current vs. Expected behavior

The following issues arise:

  • type: date is invalid and should be type: string \n format: date-time (there are about 10 occurrences for this for all the created_at etc)
  • /reset-password/{token} the token param is declared but never defined
  • /delete-user has an empty array for required
  • When a secondaryStorage is defined in the auth config, the Session model/schema is omitted from the openapi schema, causing a semantic error
  • No routes have an operationId set -> this does not cause an error, but would be nice to have when generating api clients based on the openapi schema

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.2.5

Provide environment information

- MacOS 15.4
- Safari 15

Which area(s) are affected? (Select all that apply)

Documentation, Backend

Auth config (if applicable)

import { betterAuth } from "better-auth"
export const auth = betterAuth({
  emailAndPassword: {  
    enabled: true
  },
  plugins: [openAPI()]
});

Additional context

It seems someone was already working on fixing some of these things here: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/1699 but never got reviewed/merged
Let me know if you'd want a new PR

@better-auth-agent[bot] commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):

It looks like you’re running into a well‐documented issue with the OpenAPI plugin that causes several schema problems: the dates are produced with an invalid type, the reset-password token is declared but not defined, the delete-user route has an empty required array, the Session model is omitted when secondary storage is enabled, and no operationId values are set. These same structural and semantic issues have been reported before.

Currently, there's an existing pull request that addresses these concerns by (among other things) wiring in proper date-time formatting, defining missing parameters, forcing the inclusion of the Session model, and adding operationId fields. However, that PR has not yet been merged.

As a next step, you have two options:
• Temporarily patch your generated schema by writing a small wrapper function that fixes the known problems (for example, manually converting date types and adding the missing token definition) before you validate it in a tool like Swagger Editor.
• Alternatively, if you’re comfortable contributing, you can open a new PR against the repository with these fixes—building on the previous work—so that both you and others benefit from a permanent resolution.

This issue has been observed by others and is actively being discussed by the maintainers, so monitoring progress on that pull request may also help [1], [2].
