Use an OpenAPI spec to generate clients? Nango appears to have one https://github.com/NangoHQ/nango/blob/79545622929aa4c3dca94f...
Yeah, that's an option. By the way, I've heard that the auto-generated code isn't that great to work with. Would you agree?
This felt perfect for our current use-case. So I wanted to use them right away. However, I couldn’t. They only support a Node SDK, and our entire backend is in Python.
This means working with REST APIs instead, which requires more effort such as doing REST calls, mapping the payload to the schema etc. It’s frustrating, because there seems to be this perfect solution that we just can’t use.
Is translating SDKs into a different language is a common challenge others face? And if so, how have you approached to solve this? Transpilation, LLMs, or manual rewrite?
For companies that provide SDKs in different languages, do you have an automated process for this, or is it still done manually?
