Happy Holidays from APIs You Won't Hate

It is time to close the laptop, reflect on your year, and spend time with family and friends. Hopefully, you will have a break over the holidays, but if you get bored, don't forget you can follow us on BlueSky for the latest API updates. If you crave even more API content, don't forget we assembled this excellent API starter pack.

We will take a break over the holidays, so there will be no newsletter on the 1st of January. Have a great break and happy holidays from the whole team at APIs You Won't Hate

The API Round-Up

API News, links, and tools from around the web

Apideck raises $7.5M Series A for API platform

It's great to see an API-focused startup raising money, especially as raising has become difficult over the last few years. Apideck plans on using some of the money from the raise to merge its unified APIs with LLM for real-time data processing. It will be interesting to see what that means when they implement it.

Undici v7 is here

Undici, a modern HTTP client for NodeJS, dropped a major version recently, bringing some significant updates from better fetch() spec compliance, composing interceptors and client-side HTTP caching. Undici goes the extra mile to be spec-compliant, not to mention that the name is a Stranger Things reference.

Speakeasy x Scalar Docs

Speakeasy and Scalar have been mentioned a few times in the newsletter, and now they're joining forces. Speakeasy allows you to generate SDKs for your APIs quickly, and Scalar enables you to create beautiful documentation. Now, your SDK libraries will have excellent documentation.

Learn how to use Microcks with Bump.sh to create a constant loop of documentation, simulation, and testing. Phil teams up with Laurent and Yacine to deliver this deep dive and explain the advantages of this flow.

Generate Server Code Using OpenAPI Generator

Finally, the SpringBoot blog post I have been waiting for has arrived. Check out this walkthrough on generating endpoints in SpringBoot from OpenAPI docs. I have been looking for a good blog post on this for a long time, and finally, someone has delivered.

API Client Language Popularity

An interesting study from Cloudflare. More than half of its traffic is related to APIs, and recently, Go has overtaken Node as the most popular API client—an interesting observation.
