The API collaboration landscape is evolving with Postman's latest strategic move. The global leader in API platforms has announced the acquisition of liblab, a company specializing in automated Software Development Kit (SDK) generation. This acquisition marks a significant step towards creating a truly unified and seamless experience for developers across the entire API lifecycle.
Postman acquires liblab to integrate automated SDK generation directly into its API platform.
The move aims to create a unified workflow from API design and testing to consumption.
liblab's technology generates high-quality, customizable SDKs in all major programming languages in seconds.
The acquisition strengthens Postman's position in the API-first ecosystem for building AI-ready APIs.
Over 40 million Postman developers will gain access to streamlined SDK creation and maintenance.
The integration ensures documentation, test suites, and client SDKs remain synchronized.
This acquisition significantly expands the Postman API Platform's capabilities. By incorporating liblab's "SDKs-as-a-service" technology, Postman now extends its reach beyond design, testing, and documentation to cover the critical consumption phase. This allows both API producers and consumers to work within a more integrated environment, reducing friction and accelerating development cycles.
SDKs are crucial for driving API adoption, but their creation and maintenance have traditionally been a complex and time-consuming task. liblab was founded to solve this exact problem, empowering developers to build faster by making API consumption effortless. Its platform generates code that mirrors expert-written libraries, ensuring quality and familiarity for developers in their language of choice.
The vision of a connected API ecosystem is at the heart of this merger. “What Postman provides for API producers, liblab offers to API consumers. Together, we’re completing the loop, allowing developers not only to design, test, and document APIs, but also to instantly generate high-quality SDKs in every major language, all within the same workflow,” said Sagiv Ofek, founder and CEO of liblab.
Postman's leadership echoes this sentiment. Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman, stated, “With its developer-first mindset, liblab made SDK generation simpler than ever before. Its technology is a natural extension of the Postman API Platform, helping deliver an even more seamless experience for API producers and consumers alike and supporting our mission to help teams build high-quality, AI-ready APIs that power agents and connected systems.”
The integration of liblab's technology directly into the Postman platform is a powerful combination that promises to accelerate innovation for development teams worldwide. By keeping documentation, test suites, and client SDKs in sync, it enables teams to build software more efficiently, whether they are using API endpoints or published SDKs.
The acquisition of liblab by Postman is more than a simple expansion; it is a fundamental enhancement of the API development toolkit. This move directly addresses the growing need for efficiency and cohesion in the API lifecycle, empowering developers to build and consume high-quality, AI-ready APIs faster and with greater consistency than ever before.
