Show HN: OpenAPI Zapier Generator

17 points

2 years ago

Hey HN! We've developed a way to turn API specifications, like OpenAPI 3.0, into Zapier Triggers and Actions for you to automate parts of an app, with the added benefit of SDK generators.

Documenting endpoints sucks. What sucks more is a clunky interface to let nontechnical use your app or outdated/nonexistent SDKs for technical people to set and forget. This project originated from my cofounder and I having to make Zapier.com and Make.com apps frequently while not getting what we wanted out of https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/zapier/.

Our installation/setup is straightforward with a dashboard and Make/Zapier keys. Create an API spec by using our request scanning extension or the supported docker plugin. If you have an API spec ready to go, plug it in on the uploads page. Next, you hit the create Zapier or Make plugin, and it generates then uploads the code to your developer dashboard on either respected platform once you have parametrized the API paths. We're starting off with API-key based auth for Make and Zapier.

It's free and appreciate any feedback as we are ironing out bugs.

We're excited to hear what you all think and please try it out! Portway.ai
