I presume you're talking about REST apis? If that's the case then virtually every language has a client built in. That's part of the advantage of using HTTP from the API vendor's point of view.
As far as publishing a spec, I don't know but I'm guessing part of it is a reluctance to commit to anything (which does kind of defeat the purpose of a public API).
- whitfieldsdad 3y agoAh, yes - I forgot to mention that I was referring to REST APIs :( I know that you can send HTTP requests in every language - I was moreso referring to say, a Python package that you could import into your project and use off the shelf without having to write one yourself over the course of weeks to months as you become more familiar with the vendor's API. I suppose that it makes sense that vendors tend to only provide APIs rather than API clients since one client may use say, Ruby rather than Python...
