August 2025 Product Highlights: Get started with APIMatic in 60-Seconds and access Enterprise features for free

This release focuses on accelerating developer success with APIMatic. We've completely redesigned our onboarding experience with a new CLI quickstart that gets you from OpenAPI definition to an API portal in under 60 seconds, while simultaneously making our enterprise-grade Docs as Code features available to all trial users from day one.

Beyond onboarding, we've enhanced the developer experience with native custom components for richer documentation portals, comprehensive pagination support in TypeScript SDKs, and several quality-of-life improvements that make integration faster and more intuitive. 

🚀 From OpenAPI to API Portal & SDKs in 60 Seconds: Introducing a new way to get started with APIMatic 

We've made two major improvements to how developers experience APIMatic:

First, we've made our Docs as Code workflow available to free trial users. This enterprise-grade workflow, used by some of our largest customers to power production API Portals, is now accessible to all users starting from day 1.

Second, we've dramatically simplified our user onboarding process. Our new CLI quickstart provides a guided experience that takes you from an OpenAPI definition to a locally-hosted API portal with live reload capabilities in under a minute.

What's New

Guided Setup 

The CLI quickstart walks you through four simple steps:

1. 1. Import: Provide any OpenAPI definition (local file or public URL)
   2. Validate: Automatic linting and validation with clear feedback
   3. Customise: Select programming languages for SDK generation
   4. Generate: Scaffold a starter project and start a live server

Live Preview with Hot Reload

Your portal is immediately available on a local server with hot reload enabled. Edit markdown files, update your API definition or customise themes - changes appear instantly in your browser.

Complete Platform Access

Trial users now have access to our full Docs as Code feature set:

• • API Recipes: Interactive tutorials for complex use cases
  • LLMs.txt: AI-friendly API documentation
  • CI/CD Integration: Full automation capabilities
  • Multi-Language SDKs: Generated SDKs and code samples in 7 languages
  • Interactive API Playground: Live API testing within documentation

🧩 Custom Components in API Developer Portal

You can now create richer, more structured documentation using native custom components in your API Developer Portal. This means you can build professional UI elements like cards, accordions, and tabs without writing raw HTML, while maintaining consistent theming across light and dark themes.

With this release, you can now organise and present your API documentation more effectively, giving you greater control over the user experience and visual presentation of your developer portal.

Available Components

• Callout Boxes: Highlight important messages with contextual styling options including info, warning, danger, and success states.
• Card & Card Group: Showcase key information in clean, grid-based layouts for organised content presentation.
• Tabs: Organise content into switchable sections for improved navigation and space efficiency.
• Code Block Group: Display code samples across multiple programming languages in organised, tabbed interfaces.
• Accordion & Accordion Group: Create collapsible sections to organise content hierarchically and improve page readability.
• Frame: Embed images with captions and zoomable functionality for enhanced visual demonstrations.
• Video: Embed videos seamlessly from YouTube and Vimeo platforms.
• Mermaid Diagram:  Visualise workflows, system architecture, and complex processes through interactive diagrams.

📄 Pagination Support in TypeScript SDKs

We've introduced comprehensive pagination support for TypeScript SDKs that automatically handle the four widely-used pagination strategies: Offset, Page, Cursor, and Link-based pagination. This provides a seamless and unified developer experience when consuming paginated API responses, regardless of the underlying pagination mechanism.

With this release, you can now iterate through paginated data using intuitive async/await patterns, giving you greater control over large dataset consumption while maintaining clean, readable code.

The TypeScript SDK automatically detects pagination configuration from your OpenAPI specification and handles pagination tokens, offsets, and links transparently, making integration straightforward and idiomatic.

🛠 Improvements

• Proxy Configuration Support in TypeScript SDKs: Added proxy server configuration support to generated TypeScript SDKs. You can now route API requests through designated proxy servers, ensuring compatibility with enterprise networks and secure environments that require traffic to pass through a proxy during SDK client initialisation using the proxySettings field in httpClientOptions
  
• Enhanced SDK Client Initialisation with Import Statements: Updated all client initialisation code samples to include relevant import statements. You can now copy complete, working code snippets directly from documentation and READMEs without searching for package names or guessing class origins.
• Added Filepath Workflow to GitHub App: You can now specify the exact path to your main OpenAPI file in your   .apimaticsettings.json  configuration file. This provides you with greater control over which files are validated, streamlining the process for complex or modular API specifications. The GitHub app will automatically locate your main file and validate all referenced files throughout your repository, ensuring your entire API definition is checked as a cohesive unit. This reduces unnecessary validation runs and speeds up your CI workflows. See the changelog for more details.

🐞 Bug fixes

• [PHP] Fixed proxy configuration error: The PHP SDK now properly handles integer authentication method constants in proxy configuration, ensuring seamless setup in enterprise environments requiring proxy authentication.
