Introduction

Speakeasy is an API DevEx platform. It gives you all the tools you need to bring your API to market and grow your customer base.

Features

Idiomatic SDKs - Don’t put the burden of API integration on your users. Language idiomatic SDKs make API connections as easy as writing a single line of code. Speakeasy automaticsally creates SDKs from your OpenAPI spec that are:

  • Type Safe - Generated code is fully typed.
  • Idiomatic - Generated code adheres to common lanugage conventions.
  • Human Readable - Generated code includes comments and READMEs so that they are easy for developers to read and debug.
  • Batteries-Included - Packages include telemetry, retries, and pagination.

API Platform Tooling - Move beyond API docs. Make API integration and maintenance self-service for your users. Equip them with the tooling they need:

  • API key management - Enables your API users to manage long lived API keys that they can create and revoke themselves.
  • View request logs - Enable your API users to troubleshoot API integration issues without engineering support.
  • Analyze usage metrics - Enable your users to monitor and understand their usage of your API.

How Does It Work?

We built Speakeasy to be the API platform team for every company. Our platform is the extensible infrastructure that any company can use to build a best-in-class API Developer Experience for their users.

Our platform works by plugging into your existing REST API stack at every level:

  • API Spec Integration: Whenever your API spec (OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman Collection) changes, our SDK Engine automically parses your new API spec and creates idiomatic SDKs in the most popular languages.
  • API Gateway Integration: Integrate Speakeasy directly to your API gateway to make API key management easy. Integration is available for any API Gateway that supports OIDC2 workflows and external token sources. This includes: Google Cloud Endpoints, Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway and more.
  • API Server Integration: Integrate our server-side SDK in your API definition and we'll scan your API's request/response data to provide you with the live telemetry and analytics you need to understand your users.
  • Self-Hosting: Self-host our entire platform. We provide a helm chart to enable people to get Speakeasy up and running in their private clouds.
