For the past few months, we have been hard at work improving API Transformer to give our users good quality output for any of their conversions. This changelog highlights all improvements made and new features added which we plan to release in a few weeks from now. To get full advantage of these improvements, some of the users who import from various formats like OpenAPI/Swagger
, API Blueprint
, etc. may need to regenerate their portal/SDKs.
Support for Contact Info in API Editor and SDKs
We have added support for adding contact information of the organization maintaining the API in our API editor.
Improvements to OpenAPI and Postman Import/Export
Support in Transformer for features of OpenAPI like API contact information and global tags has been added. In addition to this, improvements have been made to our Postman parsers including preservation of order of requests, support for folder descriptions and not nesting ungrouped endpoints into folders.
Browser-based Implementation for Calling APIs from Console in DX Portal
We've added the ability to call API endpoints directly from the browser in our Developer Experience Portal for APIs. This is provided as an alternative to calling the API via our proxy.
Allow Skipping Verification of SSL Certificates
Our Android, .Net, Go, Java, NodeJS, PHP, Python and Ruby SDKs now allow skipping verification of SSL certificates. To do this enable the CodeGen Setting Allow Skipping Certificate Verification and then set the corresponding configuration variable in the respective SDK.
Major Release of Developer Experience Portal
We've rewritten our Developer Experience portal and are releasing it as a major version. The new version introduces several new features in addition to bug fixes to some long-standing issues.
Check out the changes and how to migrate to the new portal.
Disable Linting in SDKs
We have added a new CodeGen setting to allow disabling linting in our SDKs. If you would like to benefit from this feature then please enable the setting and generate your SDKs again.
Support for Collection Variables Added In Postman Exporters
Our Postman exporters (both versions 1.0 and 2.0) now support collection variables to better represent requests in cases where multiple servers are involved.
Switching Http Client in Android and Java to OkHttp
We are happy to announce that our Android and Java SDKs now use the better and faster OkHttp client.
Android SDK and Gradle Version Upgraded
We have updated our Android SDKs to use version 3.0.1 of the Android Plugin for Gradle, and have upgraded the Gradle version to 4.1.
The minimum SDK version has been raised to 16 and the target SDK version has been raised to 26.
Please regenerate your Android SDKs if you wish to get these changes.
