# External libraries

We’re currently maintaining two external libraries auto-generated from [our OpenAPI specification file](https://api.bimdata.io/doc#/) using [openapi-generator](https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator).

## Typescript

* Install via NPM:

```bash
npm install @bimdata/typescript-fetch-api-client --save
```

* URL: <https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bimdata/typescript-fetch-api-client>

* Repository: <https://github.com/bimdata/typescript-fetch-api-client-generator>

**Note:** the *typescript-fetch-api-client* can be used in JavaScript & TypeScript codebase the same way.

## Python

* URL: <https://pypi.org/project/bimdata-api-client/>

## Generate your own

We offer our OpenAPI file to let you use it. You can use one of those generators to get a client in your favorite programmation language: <https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators>

1. Install OpenAPI Generator following [their documentation](https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/installation/).

2. With a local version (or not) of our OpenAPI file, generate your client with `openapi-generator generate` options depending on your install.

3. Add your new API client in your software stack, everything is in the README generated along with your client.

4. Use it and check [our API Reference documentation](/api/reference.html).
