Exciting news! 🚀 liblab is thrilled to announce our upcoming launch on the @getpostman App Market! This collaboration is set to streamline how you build and share your APIs. Get ready to integrate SDK generation directly into your Postman workflow! #APIs #SDKs

Crafting top-notch descriptions is a crucial element in producing excellent #OpenAPI specifications, as they're the components of your spec that users will engage with most directly.

"We wanted to provide SDKs for our API to shorten & simplify the integration process, but as a lean team didn’t have the capacity to build them. Liblab was key to unlocking our ability to provide SDKs to our customers!" - Al Fares @ CELITECH Read more: liblab.com/blog/case-s...

Efficient APIs are born from OpenAPI! By establishing API definitions early, developers can tap into tools for instant SDK generation, creating more dependable integrations across all programming languages.

Kickstart your first SDK with liblab in minutes! ➡️ Upload your API spec ➡️ Select your target languages ➡️ Let liblab generate SDKs tailored for performance.

🚀 SDKs vs. APIs: Which is the right tool for your project? 🤔 Choosing between them is crucial for smart development. We break it down in our latest blog post! But first a thread🧵

Accelerate API integrations effortlessly with automated SDK generation. liblab eliminates the struggle of manual SDK creation, ensuring fast, compliant, and reliable results across multiple languages. Save time and focus on building, not maintaining!

What's your favorite SDK and why?

Compliance is non-negotiable in SDK generation. At liblab, we ensure every SDK aligns with industry standards to provide secure, reliable, and regulation-compliant API integrations. Focus on building trust while we handle the rules!

Traditional SDK creation is slow and error-prone, while automated approaches like liblab simplify the process. Developers tell us they save time and avoid hurdles with tailored, up-to-date SDKs. Automation lets them focus on what matters: innovation and quality.

Thinking about SDKs for your API? The languages you choose are crucial for adoption and a great developer experience. But what's the most important factor?

Community feedback drives innovation. At liblab, developer insights refine our SDK generation platform, ensuring it meets real needs. Your input helps us build better tools, empowering seamless API integration for everyone. Let's grow together!

Pro-tip: Let users sort and filter the data coming from your API. Doing so can greatly decrease the amount of requests users need to send to get the data they need. You save bandwidth and they save latency. Win win!

One of the best things to consider when making a solid API is separation of concerns. Does your endpoint do more than one thing? If so make it two endpoints.

APIs that lack versioning limit evolution. Even if your v1 is at /api/endpoint(s) that doesn't mean your v2 can't be at /api/v2/endpoint(s).

APIs & SDKs should focus on meeting customer needs rather than exposing your product's backend. APIs that mirror your internal database are often challenging for end users. Our DevRel Engineer, Anthony Lusardi, will be at API Days NYC this week to give a talk on this issue.

Don't reinvent the wheel. Standards like pagination and filtering are the way they are because they work well, developers are familiar with them, and tooling is already built to handle them.

Did you know that we've been slowly building a series of guides on how to add OpenAPI support to your existing projects? Check them out 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpZ...

Building SDKs that stand up to real-world issues means focusing on fault tolerance. Don't let API timeouts, network glitches, or server errors crash user apps. Here's some pitfalls to avoid and best practices to follow 👇

Unlock faster innovation cycles. When your API changes, ensure your SDKs across all supported languages are updated instantly, not weeks later. Automation makes this possible.

Precision matters in your OpenAPI spec! Be explicit with string formats (date-time, password, uuid, uri, email). The format modifier is open so you can define your own format names and tooling can later use those format names for validation.

Think API docs are enough? Without an SDK, developers face a checklist: HTTP config, auth flows, serialization, error handling... just to make their first call.

Launching an API without an SDK? You're not saving effort, you're just pushing the burden of building and maintaining a client library onto every single one of your users.

Stop the SDK maintenance grind! Use your OpenAPI spec as the single source of truth to generate consistent, high-quality SDKs automatically. Free up engineers for core API work.

The "no official SDK" tax: Every user team duplicates effort, creating slightly different, potentially buggy client implementations. Centralize this work for quality & consistency.

Debugging SDKs can be tricky! Bugs might hide in the client app, the SDK itself, the OpenAPI spec, docs, API gateway, or the backend API. There's tons of layers where things can go wrong! A thread on dealing with this with Proxyman (and Bird Weather!)👇

Hooks, pagination, and more. These are features we think every SDK generator should have: liblab.com/blog/deep-d...

An undocumented API is an unusable API. Always make sure to provide clear, comprehensive documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI helps!) and include examples! Good docs = happy developers. Great docs = loyal customers.

Your API will evolve! Plan for change w/ versioning (e.g., /api/v2/products). Keeps things stable for existing consumers when you introduce breaking changes.

Good API design thinks in resources! Use nouns for endpoints (e.g., /users, /orders) not verbs (/getUser). Let HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) define the action.

Our SDK generator has extensive configuration capabilities, featuring everything from hooks to custom constructor parameters. In our latest blog post, David dives into three must-have features for any SDK generator. liblab.com/blog/deep-d...

What's your favorite OpenAPI or Markdown compatible documentation service or application?

When it comes to collaborative API testing we love to use Postman. It's a classic for a reason. What do you use to to test APIs?

An often overlooked tool when first exploring an API is jq. It's a very quick and easy way to parse through JSON responses. What tools do you like to use before you get down to integration?

"Developers are the gatekeepers to adoption, but they despise friction. Clunky integrations and poor documentation kill enthusiasm fast." Tamir has some great insights on the value of partnerships and reducing developer friction. Read more 👇 liblab.com/blog/stop-b...

Developers: What's your biggest frustration when integrating or using a third-party SDK?

What's your team's BIGGEST headache when maintaining SDKs for your API across multiple languages?

Integrating a new service? Check their SDK first. A solid SDK means less time wrestling with HTTP calls, parsing JSON, and handling edge cases, and more time building cool features. Choose your APIs wisely!

Tired of the endless cycle of manual SDK development & maintenance across languages? Learn how to automate SDK generation and eliminate months worth of engineering work. liblab.com/blog/automa...

Shoutout to the teams that put in the effort to produce APIs with SDKs that just work 🙌. Type safety, clear methods, handles auth & retries gracefully... Makes integration so much easier!

Dev Tip: Before diving deep into an API integration, check the SDK's repo activity & open issues. Saves headaches later! A well-maintained SDK is a sign of a healthy API ecosystem.

Elevate your Developer Experience! Provide consistent, high-quality, up-to-date SDKs in multiple languages automatically. Reduce friction, accelerate adoption, and reach a wider developer audience. See how automation helps: liblab.com/blog/automa...

Shipping an SDK is just the beginning! Robust long-term maintenance (bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates, doc refreshes) is crucial for user trust & continued adoption. Plan for it!

Consistency is key in SDK design. Use uniform naming conventions, predictable patterns, and consistent error handling. It reduces cognitive load and makes your SDK much easier to adopt.
