OpenAPI and Client Generation

The Streamdiver API is built on the OpenAPI 3.0 standard. This means you can use the spec not just to read documentation, but to generate production-ready code for your integration – in any language, with full type safety.

What is OpenAPI?

OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) is a standardized, machine-readable format that describes a REST API's endpoints, request/response schemas, authentication methods, and data models in a single JSON file. One spec – understood by tools, code generators, and AI assistants alike.

  • Language-agnostic – one spec, any programming language
  • Single source of truth – models, endpoints, and types always match the live API
  • Automation-friendly – generate clients, documentation, and tests from the same file

Generate a Client Library​

Instead of manually writing HTTP requests and data models, generate a fully typed client from the Streamdiver spec. You get:

  • API client classes with methods for every endpoint
  • Data models and types matching the API's request/response schemas
  • Authentication handling (OAuth 2.0 flows)
  • Input validation based on the spec's schema constraints

Quick Example​

Generate a TypeScript client in one command:

openapi-generator-cli generate \
  -i https://api.streamdiver.com/v2/openapi.json \
  -g typescript-axios \
  -o ./streamdiver-client

This gives you a fully typed client with methods like assetsApi.getAsset(id), uploadsApi.createUpload(payload), etc. – no manual typing required.

Works Great with AI Coding Assistants​

Feed the spec to your AI tools

The OpenAPI spec gives AI coding assistants structured, complete knowledge of the entire API. Feed it to Cursor, Copilot, or any LLM to:

  • Generate integration code that is accurate and type-safe
  • Ask questions about available endpoints and data models
  • Scaffold entire integrations based on the real API structure

AI tools produce significantly better results from a structured spec than from prose documentation alone.
