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.

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.

Did you know? #OpenAPI specs support enums and they can even be nullable. When setting an enum as nullable you also need to include null as a value. If you don't then it won't be able to be set as null.

What's wrong with this OpenAPI snippet? What can be done better?

Ready. Set. Build.

sometimes it takes a lot of words to speak the truth.

You can't build 6 professional SDKs in under a minute but our tooling can. 💪

6 languages. 15 seconds.

Intellisense all the way!

Differentiation is hard. Providing your own SDKs (aka client libraries) creates a clear advantage over not just competitors but also your API offering.

Just wrapped up an amazing chat with Devinder Sodhi about the future of AI education! 🚀 We’re excited about the possibilities of bringing more AI learning opportunities to developers. Great meeting you, Devinder—let’s keep the conversation going!

LLMs are powerful but not perfect. They can help with coding and debugging but also confidently give wrong answers.

Our latest post covers how to use LLMs effectively while avoiding common pitfalls.
