Turn OpenAPI to Universal TypeScript SDKs
Hi HN! We’re excited to share our new code generator that lets you ship high-quality TypeScript SDKs, that your users will love, from your OpenAPI documents. Our ongoing goal is to help you build one SDK that runs anywhere modern JavaScript runs. This includes new runtimes like Deno and Bun in addition to the ever-popular Node.js. Additionally, the popularity of AI has meant server-sent events and file streaming are also commonplace - we wanted to cover these use cases too. This explosion in new runtimes and ways of interacting with APIs shifts cognitive burden on API developers often having…
Turn OpenAPI to Universal TypeScript SDKs launched on January 30, 2024 with 27 votes, #932 of 4,437 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
A code generator that transforms OpenAPI documents into TypeScript SDKs compatible across multiple JavaScript runtimes including Node.js, Deno, and Bun. The tool is designed for API developers who need to support diverse environments and modern API interaction patterns like server-sent events and file streaming. It aims to reduce the complexity of maintaining separate SDKs for different platforms by generating universal, high-quality TypeScript libraries from a single OpenAPI specification.

Turn your OpenAPI spec into type-safe, idiomatic SDKs across multiple languages. Production-ready, fully customizable, and built for internal and external APIs alike. Optimised for coding agents.
Upload your OpenAPI spec and generate production-ready, type-safe SDKs in your team's preferred languages. Speakeasy's SDK Generator handles everything from OAuth 2.0 and custom logic to retries, pagination, and full documentation. Start with your OpenAPI specification. Speakeasy validates your spec and prepares it for SDK generation across multiple languages. Generate SDKs in TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, and more. Each SDK is idiomatic and follows language-specific best practices. Use overlays and hooks to modify SDK functionality, structure, and behavior without altering the core generation process. Incorporate SDK generation into your CI/CD workflows. Every API change…from speakeasyapi.dev

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,…

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…
