2. • I am excited to announce a new integration of the Anypoint Platform
with APIMatic. This integration allows you to generate Software
Developer Kits (SDKs) for a given API. With only a few clicks, you can
now offer SDK downloads in your API’s portal for ten different
languages or frameworks: Java, .NET, iOS, Android, PHP, Python, Ruby,
JavaScript, Angular, and Go.
3. • Providing SDKs is the shortest path for developers to get started with
your API. However, manually writing client code can be difficult,
error-prone – and not to mention repetitive. Providing SDKs makes
developers more productive and reduces the chances of errors .
Furthermore, SDKs allows developers to focus on the core value of an
API’s underlying service (e.g. payment processing) while abstracting
the remoteness and language specific object mappings of the API’s
interface.
4. Getting the SDKs on your Anypoint API Portals can
be achieved with just a couple of simple steps:
5. • Begin by making sure that your API version on the Anypoint Platform
has a RAML definition and a public developer portal. The public portal
is necessary as that is the way that APIMatic can get access to your
API’s RAML definition.
• 2) Create an APIMatic account. Once you have logged in, navigate to
your account settings (by clicking on your user ID at the top right) and
you should see an Anypoint Platform option in the menu on the left
hand side. Also note that within the APIMatic account page, the
“CodeGen Profile” settings allow you to customize the way your code
is generated. As an example, you can specify whether to generate
synchronous or asynchronous code in Java and C#. Don’t forget to
save the settings, these will be used every time you download code
from your Anypoint API Portal.

7. • 3) Copy and paste the the URL of the API Portal associated with your
API version into the Anypoint API Portal Url field on the APIMatic
page.
• 4) Click “Update ID and Embed Script” and you will see a generated
markdown snippet. This markdown snippet has the buttons (with
links) to download every type of SDK for your API.
• 5) You can now copy and paste this markdown snippet into the API
portal for for your API.
8. After going through these five steps, you are done
and your portal editor should display the SDK
download as per the example below.
