About:
AutoRest is a tool that generates client libraries for accessing RESTful web services from OpenAPI specifications. It simplifies API integration by automatically creating idiomatic code for multiple programming languages. This enables developers to interact with cloud services without writing boilerplate HTTP client code.

Key Features:

Generates client libraries for C#, TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, and more
Supports code generation based on Swagger/OpenAPI specifications
Extensible plugin architecture for custom templates and code models
CLI tool for easy integration into build pipelines

Use Cases:

Generating SDKs for custom REST APIs defined with OpenAPI
Creating client libraries for Azure services
Automating API client updates when specifications change

Alternatives:

OpenAPI Generator – Open-source alternative with broader language support but different template philosophy
NSwag – C#-focused tool that generates clients and controllers from Swagger specs
