@samgoodwin89 you’ll like this

I was having issues with the Google Cloud Secrets manager SDK so I asked Cursor to remove it and replace it with fetch against the rest api and it one shotted a fully working solution to the thing that’s not been working with the sDK for me for like 2 hours

If you have a good source of truth, fetch is all you need.

This is why I made openapisearch.com - a way to get this source of truth more easily.

I think people aren't getting it yet

- The GitHub OpenAPI is a source of truth to use their entire API but it's 10MB (± 2 million tokens)
- The SLOP summary of that is ±30k tokens!!! oapis.org/slop/github

OpenAPI Search allows easy access to the perfect source of truth for LLM Codegen

OpenAPI --> Simple Language Open Protocol (a.k.a. SLOP)

- let your LLM understand ANY API
- reduce millions of tokens to thousands (e.g. githubs openapi is 2M tokens, becomes 30k tokens)
- easily find the APIs of platforms you're looking for. Support for Google, AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub and much more!!

Thanks to @wgw_eth I've made some low-hanging fruit improvements to the landingpage of OpenAPI Search, namely:

- Like promised, You can now fill in an URL of an OpenAPI at ANY Location, to make a SLOP and navigate further.
- The OpenAPI Directory is now on a separate page as you may not need it.

On the website it now seems clear.

The next step will be to make the MCP understand this as well!
