Hacker News API SDKs → Code Generation in Rust
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…
In plain words
Sideko is an SDK and documentation generator for REST APIs written in Rust. It automatically creates typed software development kits and API documentation from OpenAPI specifications in Python, TypeScript, Go, Ruby, and Rust. Developers can use pre-generated SDKs for the Hacker News API or generate custom SDKs for their own APIs, reducing time spent on manual API integration and documentation work.

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 integrations, writing documentation, and manually testing APIs at our jobs. We think every engineer can benefit from spending less time on APIs. The generator is written in Rust because we need the rich type system, macros, and general correctness emphasis to generate working code. The SDKs are typed, they simplify auth, and they handle files. If you want to learn more, check out our complete write up here: https://sideko.substack.com/p/the-hacker-news-api-enhanced-b...
