Integrating with external APIs has become a fundamental part of modern application development. However, building and maintaining API client libraries can be tedious and error-prone, especially when dealing with complex APIs that change frequently. Traditionally, developers have written these clients manually, which has resulted in a lot of code and models that need maintaining when the API evolves. In this blog post, we will explore an alternative approach using Microsoft Kiota for automatically generating strongly-typed API clients from an API’s OpenAPI specification. There’s also the added benefit that all client implementations look and feel similar, providing a better developer experience. ...

In this blog post series we will be aiming to replicate the powerful Code Interpreter tool known from ChatGPT. This tool enables dynamic code execution, providing value in scenarios like data analysis, automation and custom workflows. In this first part we will focus on the technical aspect of running generated code securely in an isolated environment. This ensures that any potentially malicious code cannot harm the surrounding infrastructure. By the end of this series we will have recreated the core functionality of ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter, which dynamically generates and executes code for end users. Along the way we will explore the technologies, best practices and challenges involved in building such a tool. Stay tuned for a deep dive into both the technical and practical aspects of this topic! ...
