A Python CLI tool that generates modern, type-annotated Python client libraries from OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 documents. It uses Jinja2 templates and produces code leveraging dataclasses and type hints for a strong developer experience.

Use cases

• generate a python client from an openapi spec
• create typed api client for rest api
• convert openapi 3 document to python sdk
• auto-generate http client code from swagger json
• generate python library for consuming an api

When to choose

• you have an OpenAPI 3.0 or 3.1 document and want a Python client
• you want type-annotated, dataclass-based generated code
• you prefer a Python-based generator that is easy to extend with custom Jinja2 templates

When to avoid

• your API is described by OpenAPI 2.x / Swagger without converting it first
• you need full OpenAPI feature coverage, as some features are not yet supported
• you need clients in languages other than Python
