swagger: how to validate formData - validation

Question

So far I'm able to do swagger validation if the parameters are from "in": "body" or if the input expected is in a json format.
However, I can't find how to validate a simple string entered as formData.
Below is my swagger script (in json format)
v1swag = {
"cancels_post": {
"tags": ["/api/v1"],
"parameters": [
{
"name": "token",
"in": "formData",
"type": "string",
"required": True,
"description": "Cancels the provided token.",
}
],
"responses": {
"200": {
"description": "Success!",
}
}
}
}
I removed the schema as it seems to only work for "in": "body"
I've been searching the net but can't seem to find the light.
Though I will still be searching... Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

A different source media type has to be consumed here. Specify "consumes" member to include media type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
v1swag = {
"cancels_post": {
"tags": ["/api/v1"],
"consumes": [
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
],
"parameters": [
{
"name": "token",
"in": "formData",
"type": "string",
"required": True,
"description": "Cancels the provided token.",
}
],
"responses": {
"200": {
"description": "Success!",
}
}
}
}
