liblab joins Postman to complete the API lifecycle

liblab joins postman

Nearly four years ago, we started liblab with a bold mission: to build the future of connected software. We’ve always believed that software becomes truly powerful when it connects seamlessly with other software.

Over the years, we built world-class developer tools powered by code generation: from our SDK generator that turns any API spec into a language-idiomatic SDK with built-in documentation, to our MCP generator that connects APIs with AI agents, to our open-source App generator that enables everyone to build applications for their API. Each product has pushed forward our vision of making API consumption effortless and empowering developers everywhere to build faster.

Today, I am beyond thrilled to announce our next chapter: liblab is joining forces with Postman.

Together, we are going to deliver the world's first truly end-to-end platform for the entire API lifecycle. We will invest even more deeply in our core SDK generation engine, integrate our technology directly into the tools that over 30 million developers already use, and create a single, seamless workflow from API design to API consumption.

liblab & Postman

I’ve been a fan of Postman since the platform's early days, Abhinav Asthana and his team didn't just build a tool; they built the industry-standard platform for the API-first world. Like us, they are a company built by developers, for developers.

I remember discussing the "API lifecycle" with other developers for years. We had amazing tools for designing, testing, and monitoring APIs—Postman was the clear leader. But there was always a huge gap. Once an API was built, how did you get developers to use it? The answer was SDKs, but creating and maintaining them was a painful, manual, and resource-intensive process that was disconnected from the rest of the API workflow.

At liblab, our vision was always to solve this. We wanted to make consuming an API as easy as building one.

When I reconnected with Abhinav and the Postman team, it was clear we have a similar company culture and, more importantly, a shared obsession for building great developer tools for the API ecosystem.

The Complete API Lifecycle

For millions of developers, Postman is the platform for the entire API production lifecycle: designing, building, testing, documenting, and monitoring. It is the undisputed source of truth for how an API works.

But what Postman provides for API producers, liblab provides for API consumers.

We built the perfect engine for this "last mile" problem. By joining forces, we’re not just adding a feature; we are completing the loop. Soon, you won't just be able to build and test your API in Postman—you'll also be able to instantly generate and publish high-quality SDKs for it in every major language, directly from the platform you already live in.

The Future is Seamless

With Postman's distribution, resources, and platform, we will now accelerate everything we do.

Imagine a world where your API documentation, test suites, and client SDKs are never out of sync, because they are all generated and managed from a single source of truth. Imagine shipping a change to your API and having your SDKs in Go, Python, TypeScript, Java, PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, Swift, and C# automatically updated, tested, and published to their respective package managers.

This is the future we are now building together, and we could not be more excited to build it for our developer community.

A Note for Our Customers

For our existing liblab customers, nothing is changing for you today.

You can continue to use the platform exactly as you do now. We are committed to a seamless transition and will be sure to communicate further updates and integration plans as soon as we have them.
