Re:Show HN: API Typegen – Generate TypeScript types from API responses on Saturday July 27, 2024 @12:12PM (#41087457)
Yeah I agree that it is impossible to know exactly what the fields are without a real documented source, but I figured this could be a decent option when there are no other alternatives available. While it's not perfect, it can provide a starting point for creating types based on sample data, which can then be refined as you work with the API and gain more understanding.

Yeah I think that’s a good idea as a few people have thought the same thing. Thanks for the feedback!

Tbh, there is no benefit of using this package if the API you are working with has an openapi spec, as there are other great libraries to help you generate accurate types such as https://github.com/openapi-ts/openapi-typescript. But I made this package to use when working with external apis that don't have an available spec.

Hey All!I started a project to create a simple API proxy server that would allow me to use third-party APIs in my frontend apps without exposing my API keys. This solved a common problem I faced: needing to interact with external services securely without building a full backend for every project.As I worked on it, the project evolved into something more comprehensive: a Backend for Frontend...

I haven’t gotten a job outside of LinkedIn for a while, so maybe I’m out of touch. But what’s wrong with Workday?

Ok load balancing definitely seems like a feature that seems out of scope of an API Proxy. Do you use the Kong gateway for microservices?

Ask HN: API Proxy vs. API Gateway?

Posted by gladwindos on Tuesday April 30, 2024 @01:04PM
from the ask-hn dept.

What would you say are the differences between an API Proxy and an API Gateway, and what would you use each for?I’m assuming that an API Gateway can do anything an API Proxy can do, but I’m wondering what features you think separate the two and if you have different use cases in mind when you are looking to add one of these layers.

Zoho is another one I'm actually considering as I think it's free for one email

I had a look at this, but the setup seems like it's for automated emails. I'm mainly looking to be able to personally send from the custom email without ending up in spam...
