OpenAPI Generator
OpenAPI Generator allows generation of API client libraries
With 50+ client generators, you can easily generate code to interact with any server which exposes an OpenAPI document. Maintainers of APIs may also automatically generate and distribute clients as part of official SDKs. Each client supports different options and features, but all templates can be replaced with your own Mustache-based templates. Getting started with server development can be tough, especially if you're evaluating technologies. We can reduce the burden when you bring your own OpenAPI document. Some generators support Inversion of Control, allowing you to iterate on design via your OpenAPI document without worrying about blowing away your entire domain layer when you regenerate code. Ever wanted to iteratively design a MySQL database, but writing table declarations was too tedious? OpenAPI documents allow you to convert the metadata about your API into some other format. -

Got
Human-friendly and powerful HTTP request library for Node.js
Got implements RFC 7234 compliant HTTP caching which works out of the box in-memory and is easily pluggable with a wide range of storage adapters. Got uses Keyv internally to support a wide range of storage adapters. For something more scalable you could use an official Keyv storage adapter. Hooks allow modifications during the request lifecycle. Hook functions may be async and are run serially. Got will make no further changes to the request before it is sent. This is especially useful in conjunction with got.extend() when you want to create an API client that, for example, uses HMAC-signing. You can override the request function by returning a ClientRequest-like instance or a IncomingMessage-like instance. This is very useful when creating a custom cache mechanism. The response object will typically be a Node.js HTTP response stream, however, if returned from the cache it will be a response-like object which behaves in the same way. -

During deployment, SAM transforms and expands the SAM syntax into AWS CloudFormation syntax, enabling you to build serverless applications faster. To get started with building SAM-based applications, use the SAM CLI. SAM CLI provides a Lambda-like execution environment that lets you locally build, test, debug, and deploy AWS serverless applications. -

RestSharp
Simple REST and HTTP API Client for .NET
RestSharp is probably the most popular HTTP client library for .NET. Featuring automatic serialization and deserialization, request and response type detection, variety of authentications and other useful features, it is being used by hundreds of thousands of projects. RestSharp passed over 32 million downloads on NuGet, with average daily download count of 10,000. It's being used by many popular OSS projects, including Roslyn and Swagger. The main purpose of RestSharp is to make synchronous and asynchronous calls to remote resources over HTTP. As the name suggests, the main audience of RestSharp are developers who use REST APIs. However, RestSharp can call any API over HTTP (but not HTTP/2), as long as you have the resource URI and request parameters that you want to send comply with W3C HTTP standards. RestSharp can take care of serializing the request body to JSON or XML and deserialize the response. It can also form a valid request URI based on different parameter kinds. -

OpenAI-Java
OpenAI Api Client in Java
OpenAI-Java is the official Java client library provided by OpenAI for interacting with the OpenAI API. It is designed to make it easier for Java applications to call endpoints like chat completions, embeddings, function calling, streaming, and other model services using idiomatic Java patterns. You configure the client (often via environment variables or system properties), then build parameter objects (e.g. ChatCompletionCreateParams) and invoke methods like client.chat().completions().create(...) to send requests in a type-safe way. The library also supports streaming APIs, where the response arrives in chunks, using helpers like ChatCompletionAccumulator to accumulate partial responses into a full object. For complex use cases (e.g. structured outputs, function calling), it provides schema support, JSON annotations, and schema validation. -

Swagger Core
Examples, server integrations for generating Swagger API Specification
Swagger Core is a Java implementation of the OpenAPI Specification. Current version supports JAX-RS2 (javax and jakarta namespaces). One of the common usage scenarios is to integrate swagger-jaxrs2 into an existing or new JAX-RS based project ("code-first"), to automatically provide and expose its APIs definition, which is kept in sync during the project lifecycle. Such definition can be the base for further processing/consumption, including API documentation (e.g with swagger-ui, API client generation in various languages (e.g with swagger-codegen), custom processing, and so on. Such result is achieved by scanning JAX-RS resources and resolving their operations and used types, (also) processing applied annotations (e.g. Swagger, JAX-RS, Jackson, JAXB, etc.). An extension mechanism allows to further customize and pre/post processing result. -

Godo
DigitalOcean Go API client
Godo is a Go client library for accessing the DigitalOcean V2 API. Create a new DigitalOcean client, then use the exposed services to access different parts of the DigitalOcean API. Currently, Personal Access Token (PAT) is the only method of authenticating with the API. You can manage your tokens at the DigitalOcean Control Panel Applications Page. If you need to provide a context.Context to your new client, you should use godo.NewClient to manually construct a client instead. If a list of items is paginated by the API, you must request pages individually. Some endpoints offer token based pagination. For example, to fetch all Registry Repositories. Each version of the client is tagged and the version is updated accordingly. -
19
Google APIs Node.js Client
Google's supported Node.js client library
Google's supported Node.js client library for accessing Google APIs. Support for authorization and authentication with OAuth 2.0, API Keys and JWT (Service Tokens) is included. The full list of supported APIs can be found on the Google APIs Explorer. The API endpoints are automatically generated, so if the API is not in the list, it is currently not supported by this API client library. These client libraries are supported by Google. However, these libraries are considered complete and are in maintenance mode. This means that we will address critical bugs and security issues but will not add any new features. For Google Cloud Platform APIs, we recommend using google-cloud-node which is under active development. This library supports the maintenance LTS, active LTS, and current release of node.js. -
