Stripe-quality API client libraries with a single button click
TL;DR- Libninja will generate world-class client libraries for you, without you needing to fiddle with openapi-generator, maintain build pipelines, and so forth. If you just want Rust, reach out, and I'll create your client library at no cost, because I want to help Rust's ecosystem grow. -- Hi HN, I got into Rust in a big way about 9 months ago. While the language is quickly maturing, one large gap in the ecosystem is immature or non-existent client libraries for common API services like Plaid, Stripe, Twilio, Github, Slack, and so on. The existing openapi-generator templates create Rust…
Stripe-quality API client libraries with a single button click launched on September 12, 2022 with 27 votes, #928 of 3,464 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Libninja generates high-quality API client libraries from OpenAPI specifications with a single click, eliminating the need to configure openapi-generator or maintain build pipelines. It targets developers who need reliable client libraries for services like Stripe, Plaid, and Twilio in languages such as Rust, where existing tools often produce non-functional code. The service streamlines API integration by automating code generation that would otherwise require manual setup and maintenance.

Hacker News API SDKs → Code Generation in Rust2023 · hacker-news.sideko.dev · ▲39Hi 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…

An opinionated and statically-typed TypeScript SDK generator2022 · easysdk.xyz · ▲81Hi 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,…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

A couple of years ago, I had an interesting idea. What if there was a marketplace where all the underlying tech was open-source? The order management system, the storefront, customer support, etc. The marketplace would simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
