Show HN: AI Agent and HTTL – Generate an OpenAPI Spec for Any Project

emykhailenko — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 11:39:32 +0000

Hi all,

There aren’t many real-world examples of how to use an agentic approach with GitHub Copilot, so I wanted to share one!

This project shows how HTTL, combined with a GitHub Copilot Agent, can automatically analyze any codebase and generate a complete OpenAPI specification. It’s a lightweight, developer-friendly setup that brings real value to API projects.

Would love your feedback or ideas on how to take it further!

Great point! Actually, it's already part of the parser but not fully implemented. However, it's coming very soon!

It was funny that when I was in the middle of the project, I discovered Hurl. It was cool, especially since it's written in Rust and uses libcurl under the hood. However, the lack of OpenAPI support and VS Code integration forced me to continue working on HTTL project.

Yeah, I agree. Bruno is a great tool, but it's missing one key component that I needed (maybe it's just me) – it can't run multiple requests in a chain. Also, constructions like: get { url: .... } feel too verbose to me, I wanted something clearer, like: get /users ;) But in general, thank you guys for your interest, my goal is to gain that 30k+ starts )))

Thank you all for showing interest in this project. You described exactly what motivated me to create this language – support for OpenAPI specs. I just wanted to have a language where I could import an OpenAPI spec and leverage the intelligence, because, like you, in all my projects the specs were autogenerated.

I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I'm working on adding CLI support as well as support for other IDEs. Regarding the query string, you could just use a regular form: `get https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2` or (if you already specified a base url) `get /users?page=2`
