Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…

I’ve been working on an open-source CLI tool called Dochia for a while now. The reason for building it: in microservices architectures, testing is repetitive: every service exposes APIs, and much of the testing process will share a similar set of test cases: negative inputs, boundary cases, encoding quirks, invisible characters. I wanted a tool that could automate this shared layer of testing instead of doing it manually across dozens of services. So what Dochia does: reads your OpenAPI spec; generates thousands of smart, edge-case payloads automatically and produces detailed reports with…

Hi HN! I'm Ankit, the founder of Beeceptor, a request mocking and intercepting tool. This time, I built something new to address a pain I’ve personally felt (and heard from dozens of QA, frontend, and platform teams): making OpenAPI specs actually useful during development. API contracts just sit around as docs often. What if you could 'activate' them, instantly have a realistic, hosted mock server-with contract validation, smart test data, and early usage? So I made _Mockaroo for OpenAPI_, but with brains. It spins up a hosted mock server from your spec in one click. It: - Generates…

Hey HN! We've developed a way to turn API specifications, like OpenAPI 3.0, into Zapier Triggers and Actions for you to automate parts of an app, with the added benefit of SDK generators. Documenting endpoints sucks. What sucks more is a clunky interface to let nontechnical use your app or outdated/nonexistent SDKs for technical people to set and forget. This project originated from my cofounder and I having to make Zapier.com and Make.com apps frequently while not getting what we wanted out of https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/zapier/. Our…

Hi, this is Mish and Sebastian. We are working on Step CI - a fully automated API testing platform for developers. Step CI works programming-language independent and for different API paradigms (REST, GraphQL, XML). Our CLI and test runner are available on GitHub (https://github.com/stepci) under the MPLv2 license. Since our last launch, Step CI is now able to generate automated tests for your API based on your OpenAPI (Swagger) spec. This saves you a lot of time as you never have to write and maintain your tests again! We would like to invite you to try our tool and give us…
