Problem
Developers expect APIs to come with type-safe client libraries in their preferred languages, but creating and maintaining these SDKs is time-consuming and resource-intensive. Manually building SDKs for multiple languages requires specialized expertise and ongoing effort to ensure consistency and quality.
Solution
Stainless automates the generation of fully-typed SDKs for REST APIs from OpenAPI specifications, enabling companies to deliver idiomatic client libraries in multiple programming languages. The platform streamlines API integration, reduces engineering overhead, and ensures consistent, high-quality SDKs. Stainless-generated SDKs include features like rich types for autocomplete and documentation, auto-pagination, auto-retry with backoff, and seamless authentication. By automating SDK generation, Stainless allows API providers to focus on building their core API while providing a superior developer experience.
Target Audience
The primary customers are API companies that want to provide high-quality, type-safe SDKs to their users without the overhead of manual development and maintenance.
