Thanks for the shoutout in the podcast! SDKs, developer portals, reference docs, are what elevate an API from software into a product. We're excited to make it easy for every company's API to have great DevEx!
If you're productizing an
#API
, relentlessly focus on reducing the 'time to 200'. Getting to that first successful request builds trust with your user.
#devEx
Stop crawling through a thousand line openapi.yaml file to debug an opaque error messaging without a line number. Try our CLI's OpenAPI validate command instead:
brew install speakeasy-api/homebrew-tap/speakeasy
speakeasy validate openapi -s openapi.yaml
Building a community around your
#API
is underrated both in effort and potential revenue. With our latest managed SDK feature API teams can now explode their API audience in minutes and meet developers where they are - in the specifics of each language, runtime and environment!
๐๐Good data leads to good decisions, which is why you should check out this quick tutorial on how you can use Speakeasy to get telemetry on your API's SDK usage, and understand how customers are using your API.๐๐

@peterschroederr
for this insightful piece! We went deep into the many issues facing both
#API
producers and consumers, and what the future of
#apidevelopment
is shaping up to be.
APIs are more than just tools for technologists; they're the building blocks of innovation.
In my latest essay, I dive into how
@speakeasydev
transforms the API lifecycle through an SDK-first approach with
@sagar_batchu
&
@iamsimonyu
.
To begin with the API platform,
@bolt
was not an API-driven company. However, as they grew, that all changed.
Here's an inside look at their journey, why their public
#APIs
are RESTful (but they also provide webhooks), and more ๐
๐๐ย For our managed
#API
keys feature, we tried a novel approach: signed tokens as API Keys, with 1 signing key per API key. To get the details on this method as well as the more traditional approaches, check out Thomas Rooneyโs new blog post! ๐๐
The OpenAPI documentation is forgiving about ambiguous data types, but your
#API
isn't.
We put together a cheat sheet on how to effectively use data types in your
#OpenAPI
3.0.X spec, so that your docs and SDKs match your API. ๐
Every API deserves a great
#SDK
. ๐ฏ
Given the popularity of the OpenAPI standard, our SDK creation is designed to accept
#OpenAPI
specifications as an input to cater to as many developers possible.
Here's how we do that:
๐๐Itโs loved by some, reviled by others. It was there in the beginning, itโll be around when weโre long gone. Itโs estimated that 80% of websites use it...
It's

Listen here ๐
Reddit had a no good, very bad week. Reversing on its 15-year support of 3rd party apps, new API pricing makes using anything other than the official app financially unviable. And with just 30-days before changes take effect, indie devs are on the hook for potentially millions.
