Overview: Automating SDK Generation to Speed Up API Integration
“Speakeasy has been a really good partner for us. We've been able to get support quickly when needed, and the platform has significantly streamlined our SDK generation process. It's allowed our internal teams to integrate with our services much faster, and our customers benefit from a smoother, more efficient onboarding experience.”
Joseph Spurrier,
Senior Staff Engineer at Prove
Prove adopted Speakeasy to automate the generation and maintenance of high-quality, server-side SDKs. This has resulted in significantly reduced integration times, improved developer experience, and faster time-to-market for Prove and its customers.
Challenge: API Docs Alone Leads to Slower, Error-Prone Integrations
Prove’s customers and their own development team were spending too much time hand-building API integrations from API docs:
-
Internal inefficiencies: Engineers had to write boilerplate code for service-to-service integrations. This led to wasted time and created opportunities for inconsistencies between implementations.
-
Customer onboarding delays: Without SDKs, customers were left to build everything from scratch: handling OAuth token management, request/response formats, retries, and parsing API docs. With 10–12 endpoints per solution, implementation timelines stretched into weeks.
Solution: Automated SDKs Reduces Manual Work, Accelerates Integrations
Prove chose Speakeasy to automate the generation of server-side SDKs for both internal and external use. Speakeasy allows Prove to:
Speakeasy Solutions for Prove's Integration Challenges
Language Support and Distribution
Prove leverages Speakeasy to generate and maintain several SDKs:
These SDKs handle complex authentication flows, error handling, request formatting, and response parsing, making it substantially easier for developers to integrate with Prove’s identity verification services.
Results: Faster Integrations and Enhanced Developer Experience
Since adopting Speakeasy, Prove has experienced significant improvements in both internal development and customer onboarding:
