Quick Start

CLI Usage

Generate an SDK from an OpenAPI specification:

# From a local file
damascus generate ./path/to/openapi.json --output my_sdk

# From a URL
damascus generate https://api.example.com/openapi.json --output my_sdk

# With custom headers (for protected specs)
damascus generate https://api.example.com/openapi.json --header "Authorization: Bearer token123" --output my_sdk

SDK Usage

Once generated, using the SDK is straightforward:

from my_sdk import Client

# Initialize client
client = Client(
    base_url="https://api.example.com",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

# Call API methods - responses are typed objects
response = client.get_user(user_id=123)
print(f"User name: {response.name}")
