How to generate a TypeScript SDK from your OpenAPI spec

Maintaining a public API often involves challenges related to facilitating seamless integration for developers, which can be addressed by providing a comprehensive platform including SDKs, documentation, and other tools. A TypeScript SDK can be critical for JavaScript and TypeScript developers, offering type-safe methods, autocomplete, and compile-time error checking that streamline the integration process and reduce the likelihood of errors. Traditional approaches like using the OpenAPI Generator can quickly scaffold a client library but often produce non-idiomatic code, lack advanced features like pagination and retries, and require manual maintenance. To overcome these limitations, Stainless provides an optimized solution for generating production-ready TypeScript SDKs from OpenAPI specifications, incorporating features such as retry logic, streaming, pagination, and structured error handling, all while ensuring zero dependencies and full type safety. Stainless enhances the SDK development process by automating tasks such as publishing and synchronization, leading to faster adoption, fewer support tickets, and a more robust API platform for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
