Stainless provides robust & polished SDKs for your REST API.

Exciting to see OpenAI's TypeScript SDK recently surpass 2 million downloads per week on npm, finally edging out both the Stripe and Slack npm packages!

We also just passed 1 year of Stainless supporting OpenAI with SDKs (the first beta was released[0] to npm on June 17, 2023). What a year it's been!

We speak to Stainless about why codegen is critical for modern API management, how it worked with OpenAI, and which API format is best. #SoftwareDevelopment #TypeScript #APIs by Richard MacManus with Alex Rattray of Stainless

Today we Plastic Labs are announcing brand new Python and for the first time NodeJS libraries for Honcho.

Up until now the development process has been completely manual, but we took a step back and looked for ways to increase velocity. Early on during the initial design phases of Honcho I took a cursory look over sever SDK generation tools and wasn't impressed with the results, but, recently a new player Stainless joined the game and their HN post motivated me to give it another shot.

Before I dived into trying tools I wanted to fully understand what is necessary for a good SDK. There's nice utilities like pagination and retries, but beyond that what style and interface should the code give to the user? The Honcho SDK up until now has been structured in an object-oriented fashion with objects that hold their own methods, however many other projects take the approach of using a singleton that contains all methods with static data objects. I reviewed a bunch of sources across the internet and concluded the style of the interface is really just a matter of preference and what really matters is having something that works and (key here) is well documented
Ok so just document and if the code is sensible it's fine. From here I started to test out several SDK generators to see if I liked the generated code. Between the platforms I tried Stainless was my favorite with the most readable and sensible code. Within pretty short order I was able to upload my API spec and generate a fully featured SDK in python and finally get one for NodeJS too.

It's been exciting to work closely with Nikunj Handa and the team on supporting all these great features in OpenAI's Node & Python SDKs!

Stripe-caliber SDKs for every API company. 

That’s the mission behind Stainless, the company that already powers SDKs at OpenAI, Anthropic, Cloudflare, and more. Alex Rattray is an incredibly thoughtful builder dedicated to elevating the developer experience, and it's been rewarding to see all of the early customer love for Stainless. 

Congrats to Alex and the entire team on today’s launch 🚀 🚀 🚀

After 2 years iterating—and supporting customers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cloudflare in our private beta—Stainless is finally available to the public!

We launched today on our blog[1], Hacker News[2], and TechCrunch[3]—and some of our customers recently blogged about how they use Stainless to produce their SDKs, including Cloudflare[4] and Mux[5]. 

I'm grateful for the partnership of all our incredible early customers, which also include Lithic, Modern Treasury, Increase, Orb, Metronome, Finch, LangChain, Groq, Together AI, Retell AI, and more.

If you have a REST API, give it a try today at https://stainlessapi.com and let me know what you think!
