Ruby has been an enduring staple of web application development over the last decade, and Speakeasy is thrilled to announce that Speakeasy’s Ruby SDK Generation is now available in public beta. This marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide developers with powerful, elegant SDKs across all major programming languages.
Key highlights:
Idiomatic Ruby design with method chaining and blocks Built-in OAuth 2.0 flows with automatic token management Enhanced error handling with custom exception hierarchy Intelligent pagination for handling large datasets
Why Ruby matters in 2025
With Ruby powering millions of web applications and the continued innovation in the Ruby ecosystem, Ruby remains a cornerstone of modern web development. The language has evolved from its dynamic roots into a mature platform for building scalable, maintainable applications, with Ruby 3.x introducing features that enhance performance and developer productivity:
The evolution of Ruby’s elegance
Ruby 1.8 - Basic dynamic typing
Ruby 2.0 - Keyword arguments and refinements
Ruby 3.x - Pattern matching and improved type annotations
Modern Ruby offers a balance between developer productivity and enterprise-grade reliability, making it a great choice for today’s development teams.
Our beta release brings production-ready Ruby SDK generation to this thriving ecosystem, enabling API providers to deliver exceptional developer experiences to their Ruby users.
What’s new in our beta release
Our Ruby SDK generation includes powerful new capabilities:
Core features
Idiomatic Ruby: Leverage Ruby’s expressive syntax with proper method chaining and block support Typing: First-class support for Sorbet type system, with the flexibility to disable for performance-oriented projects. OAuth 2.0: Implement secure authentication flows with built-in token management Deep Object Support: Pass complex nested objects in query parameters without serialization headaches Minimal Dependencies: We use only what’s necessary to keep your dependency tree lean
Developer experience improvements
Smart Pagination: Navigate large datasets with Ruby Enumerators that handle pagination automatically Resilient Networking: Implement robust retry mechanisms for handling transient API failures Extensible SDK Hooks: Customize request/response workflows using Ruby blocks for logging, metrics, and more Comprehensive Docs: Access usage examples for every endpoint with copy-pastable code samples
These optimizations ensure that your API integrations remain fast and reliable, even at scale.
Core SDK Features In-Depth
Idiomatic Ruby Design
Ruby’s philosophy of developer happiness and expressiveness shines through in our SDK design. We’ve embraced Ruby’s conventions to create SDKs that feel natural to Ruby developers.
Here’s how our idiomatic approach translates into real code:
This approach ensures that your code feels natural to Ruby developers, with familiar patterns like question mark methods for boolean checks and expressive method names.
Thanks to our optional support for Sorbet, method signatures can be generated with 100% complete typing.
Pagination
High Accuracy Numbers
For financial and scientific applications, supporting high-accuracy numbers in your SDK is a must. With Speakeasy’s Ruby SDK, we support working with arbitrary precision numbers at all times in the SDK. When serializing/deserializing, the maximum precision is dictated by JSON, and Ruby does not currently support encoding arbitrary precision numbers as strings, so some precision may be lost when encoding/decoding objects.
OAuth 2.0
Implementing OAuth flows correctly can be challenging. Our Ruby SDKs now include partial support for OAuth 2.0, making secure API integration straightforward.
