SDK Generator

Generate type-safe SDKs and CLIs from OpenAPI in minutes. Build clients for TypeScript, Python, CLI targets, and more without maintaining generator infrastructure.

Scalar SDK generation interface

SDK generation is part of our paid plans and costs $100 per month per target. Keep this in mind when selecting what you want to generate.

Make sure you have created a Scalar account and are logged in. If you are new to Scalar, start with the create account guide.

Generate your first target

Upload OpenAPI Document

From the dashboard, click "Create new SDK".

If you do not already have an OpenAPI document in the registry, import it directly from the modal.

Select Desired Targets

Select as many SDKs or CLIs as you need, or choose one target to start. Once you click "Continue", Scalar begins generating your targets.

Manage your new SDKs

Once created, you will be redirected to the SDK overview page where you can:

  • Configure SDK settings

  • Add the GitHub integration

  • Download the SDK client
