If you set allow_extra_fields=True and filter_extra_fields=False on your schema then you would only need to specify the fields you need validated. I don't recommend this though because then you could receive any fields and since its a truly public interface that is probably a bad idea. So I would specify a validator for all your fields and just set not_empty=False on the validators.
