How-to: Generate SDK from your exposed Outsystems Platform REST API web service

Robert Chanphakeo

Question

APIMatic is an online code generator that generates Software Development Kit (SDK) in multiple programming language from a REST definiation file; It is similar to swagger codegen (https://swagger.io/swagger-codegen/) but better!

1) Register an account at apimatic.io
2) Click on "My APIs" from the the main menu
3) Copy and paste your outsystems swagger API definition URL^ into the input field and click on the "Import" button
4) Modify any settings as required
5) Click on the "Generate" button (the cube)
6) Select your programming language (C#, Java, Objective-C, phython, Ruby etc)
7) thats it! Done use your newly generated SDK in your favourite programming language.

^You can find your outsystems eSpace swagger definiation URL via
https://<Server>/<eSpace>/rest/<Service>/swagger.json

You could also try "RESTunited" https://restunited.com/ (RESTunited is primarily based on the open-source project "swagger-codegen")

In case anyone is interested in a comparison between APIMatic, Swagger Codegen and AutoRest (another free, open-source code generator), I did a little comparison here: https://disq.us/p/186qs52 (May 2016)

There's also a discussion in HackerNews: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12485310 (Sep 2016)

Hope this helps you make the right choice.
