Hi Hacker News! Patrick and Elias here. We built an SDK / Documentation generator for REST APIs. The link included shows the shiny output of our system: the docs! We generated 5 SDKs and docs from the Hacker News OpenAPI we found on GitHub. If you write code in Python, Typescript, Go, Ruby, or Rust, we’d love for you to try an SDK out! If you want to generate SDKs for your own API try our tool here: https://github.com/Sideko-Inc/sideko We are both software engineers, and we built this tool because we were spending too much time writing API integrations, supporting…

Hi HN, I’m Patrick. Elias, Kevin, and I are building Sideko (https://sideko.dev), a new type of code generator for building and maintaining API client SDKs from OpenAPI specs. Traditional SDK generators rely on static templates that produce rigid, machine-generated code. When the API changes, these generators completely overwrite the SDK, destroying any custom modifications developers have made. The result is brittle code that looks artificial and requires constant manual rework. Our approach uses structured pattern matching queries instead of templates. These queries analyze the…

Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…
