Sideko has launched its comprehensive API ecosystem platform, automating the entire suite of tools needed to deliver modern API programs. The platform generates and maintains documentation, SDKs, mock servers, command-line interfaces (CLIs), and handles versioning and release automation – eliminating thousands of engineering hours typically required for these essential developer tools. The Sideko platform shoulders the heavy lifting of API integration by automatically generating and maintaining the complete suite of tools developers expect. When an API changes, all associated documentation, code samples, SDKs, and testing environments update automatically, ensuring everything stays in sync without manual intervention. The platform’s tooling is positioned to play a crucial role in enterprise AI adoption. As companies deploy AI agents to automate workflows, these agents require precise, programmatic access to enterprise systems. Sideko’s automatically generated SDKs and agent toolkits create a robust “action layer” that enables AI agents to accurately interact with the millions of APIs that unlock enterprise workflows and data.
