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. -

KrakenD
High-performance, stateless, declarative, API Gateway written in Go.
KrakenD is more than a typical proxy that forwards clients to backend services, but a powerful engine that can transform, aggregate or remove data from your own or third party services. KrakenD also implements the Backend for Frontend and Micro-frontends patterns to eliminate the necessity of dealing with multiple REST services, isolating clients from the micro-service implementation details. KrakenD's stateless architecture and performance-first approach for every internal component beat any API Gateway in the market. Our customers with massive usage face the networking limits while KrakenD still keeps a low consumption of resources. But don't take our word for granted, do your own benchmarks. All KrakenD endpoint configuration is stored in a plain text .json configuration file. You can edit this file by hand or design your API interface visually using the KrakenDesigner. -

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. -

janus
An API Gateway written in Go
This is a lightweight API Gateway and Management Platform that enables you to control who accesses your API, when they access it and how they access it. API Gateway will also record detailed analytics on how your users are interacting with your API and when things go wrong. An API Gateway sits in front of your application(s) and/or services and manages the heavy lifting of authorization, access control, and throughput limiting to your services. Ideally, it should mean that you can focus on creating services instead of implementing management infrastructure. For example, if you have written a really awesome web service that provides geolocation data for all the cats in NYC, and you want to make it public, integrating an API gateway is a faster, more secure route than writing your own authorization middleware. You can install Janus using docker or manually deploying the binary. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
24
