· 2 min read

We've just released v1.1.0-alpha.18 of the apimatic-cli , introducing the new API Copilot command and bringing improvements to existing portal, SDK generation, and authentication commands.

🚀 New Features​

1. Portal & Build Directory Enhancements​

  • Unified Input Directory Structure

    • Commands automatically detect the build directory structure for improved workflow consistency.

  • Portal Generation Improvements

    • Enhanced messaging across portal commands for better user experience.

2. API Copilot Integration​

  • New Portal Command
    • Added portal:copilot command to configure AI-powered assistance in your API documentation portal.
    • Integrates API Copilot configuration directly into your APIMATIC-BUILD.json file.

3. SDK Generation Improvements​

  • Updated Flags and Behavior
    • Replaced the --url and --file flags with a new --spec flag whose default value works seamlessly with the new directory structure.
    • Improved response handling for SDK generation.

4. Authentication​

  • Device Login Flow
    • Added a device login flow for easier authentication through the APIMatic web application.
    • This replaces the older username and password based authentication for improved security and user experience.
