Hey API

Hey API builds open-source OpenAPI code generators and a hosted specification registry. @hey-api/openapi-ts turns an OpenAPI document into production-grade TypeScript — SDKs, types, Zod/Valibot/TypeBox validators, TanStack Query and SWR hooks, MSW and Playwright test doubles, and Fastify/NestJS/Hono/Express server handlers — across more than twenty plugins and eight HTTP client runtimes, with a sibling Python generator emitting Pydantic models. It draws over four million npm downloads a week and is used by Vercel, PayPal, AWS, Autodesk and OpenCode. The Hey API Platform (api.heyapi.dev) adds a build-attested registry: CI uploads each OpenAPI document with its repository, branch, commit and workflow provenance, and consumers resolve it back by branch, tag, version or exact commit for reproducible client generation.

Hey API publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Get API, Hey API API, Internal API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Code Generation, Developer Tools, OpenAPI, SDK, and TypeScript.

The Hey API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Hey API’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, support, changelog, CLI, and 25 more developer resources.
