OpenAPI (formerly known as Swagger) is a widely adopted framework for describing RESTful APIs. By leveraging our OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification, you can automatically generate client libraries in many different programming languages. This ensures that you can easily integrate with our API, reduce boilerplate code, and minimize the risk of coding mistakes.
Below are several ways to install the CLI on your system:
Copy
# Using npmnpm install @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli -g# Using Homebrew (macOS)brew install openapi-generator# Using Dockerdocker pull openapitools/openapi-generator-cli
With the CLI installed, you can generate a client library by specifying the input specification URL (-i) and the target language or framework (-g). Here are some examples:
This approach focuses on generating TypeScript type definitions rather than a fully featured client library, enabling you to write custom service logic while still benefiting from type safety.
Make sure your OpenAPI specification is valid. You can use the OpenAPI Validator to check for any syntax or schema issues.
Keep your generated client code up-to-date with the latest version of the specification by regenerating when the API changes.
For language-specific best practices (like environment configuration or error handling), consult the official documentation of the library you’ve generated and the language you are using.
