Automation for many routines starts with interaction via API. This case can be treated in many ways, but I want to take a look at interacting with web API using a generated Kotlin client. I found a lot of academic examples for generating Kotlin clients (most of them are based on the PetStore), but nothing was close to real-world examples. My goal is to build a Kotlin client for a complex API and see how it works. Here is the source code of the Kotlin project that I will use in the post.

swagger-petstore
swagger-codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate documentation, API clients and server stubs in different languages by parsing your OpenAPI / Swagger definition.
Failed to create a client for Java. The generator imports Java's types instead of TeamCity's. There are bugs described for the Java client in both the Swagger generator and the OpenAPI generator. Let's see how the generator behaves when building a Kotlin client.

Appwrite
Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support. Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

openapi-generator
OpenAPI Generator allows generation of API client libraries (SDK generation), server stubs, documentation and configuration automatically given an OpenAPI Spec (v2, v3)
