VBAPI is fully compatible with OpenAPI Generator, allowing you to create client SDKs in more than 50 programming languages. This guide walks you through generating a client from our published OpenAPI specification.

📚 Generate Client SDKs

Follow these steps to produce a typed, ready-to-use client for your preferred language.

1. Install OpenAPI Generator

You can install it via Homebrew, npm, Docker, or direct JAR download.
Official installation instructions:
https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/installation/

2. Download the VBAPI OpenAPI Specification

Use the published specification included in the repository:

https://vbapi-docs.vbasoftware.com/_bundle/openapi/vbasoftware/vbasoftware.api.yaml?download

3. Generate Your Client

Run the following command, replacing the generator (-g) and output path (-o) as needed:

openapi-generator generate \
  -i vbasoftware.api.yaml \
  -g python \
  -o ./vba-python-client

Example Languages

You can generate SDKs for:

C# (.NET Core)
TypeScript / Node
Python
Java
Go
Ruby
PHP
Swift
Kotlin
Rust
Dart
and many more

See the full list of supported generators:

Tips for Using Your Generated SDK

Regenerate on version updates to stay aligned with new endpoints.
Check in your SDK to your codebase if you need strict versioning.
Automate generation as part of your CI pipeline for clean, reproducible builds.
Use --additional-properties to customize package names, prefixes, enums, and other codegen behaviors.
