Publish SDKs

Prerequisites

• The Speakeasy CLI
• Speakeasy generated SDKs
• Access tokens or credentials for target package managers

Supported Package Managers

Naming Packages

TIP

For global package managers like PyPI and Maven, ensure the package name is unique.

Publishing Packages

1. Start Publishing Configuration

Select the existing SDK targets to configure publishing. If no SDK targets are available, run speakeasy configure targets first.

2. Provide Publishing Credentials

Default input environment variables for publishing are provided.

3. Verify Configuration Files

Once configuration is complete, the following files will be generated or updated:

• .speakeasy/workflow.yaml – Speakeasy workflow configuration.
• .github/workflows/sdk_generation.yaml – GitHub Action to generate SDKs.
• .github/workflows/sdk_publish.yaml – GitHub Action to publish SDKs.

4. Set Up Repository Secrets

1. Navigate to GitHub repository Settings > Secrets & Variables > Actions.
2. Click New repository secret.
3. Add SPEAKEASY_API_KEY (if needed) and any other required tokens (e.g., NPM_TOKEN).

5. Push Changes and Verify

Commit and push the updated workflow files. Monitor the GitHub Actions tab for workflow execution, ensuring SDKs are automatically published.

6. Complete Language Specific Configuration

Java and C# require additional setup after running speakeasy configure publishing.

Java Maven: Sonatype Central Portal

For legacy OSSRH publishing support, see the next section.

1. Create a Sonatype Central Portal account (opens in a new tab) (if needed).
2. Generate a Sonatype username and password for authentication (opens in a new tab). Save these for step 5.
3. Create a Sonatype namespace (opens in a new tab).
4. Create a GPG key to sign the artifacts (opens in a new tab). Save these for step 5.
   • Install GnuPG: brew install gnupg
   • Generate a key: gpg --gen-key. Note the key ID (e.g., CA925CD6C9E8D064FF05B4728190C4130ABA0F98) and short ID (e.g., 0ABA0F98).
   • Send the key: gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --send-keys <your_keyId>
   • Export the secret key: gpg --export-secret-keys --armor <your_shortId> > secret_key.asc
   • The file secret_key.asc will contain the GPG secret key.
5. Store the following secrets Github actions secrets:
   • OSSRH_USERNAME
   • OSSRH_PASSWORD
   • GPG_SECRET_KEY
   • GPG_PASSPHRASE
6. In the java section of gen.yaml, provide the additional configuration required for publishing to Maven:

Java Maven: Sonatype legacy OSSRH

1. Create an OSSRH staging repository (opens in a new tab).
2. Create a GPG key to sign the artifacts (opens in a new tab). Save these for step 3.
   • Install GnuPG: brew install gnupg
   • Generate a key: gpg --gen-key. Note the key ID (e.g., CA925CD6C9E8D064FF05B4728190C4130ABA0F98) and short ID (e.g., 0ABA0F98).
   • Send the key: gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --send-keys <your_keyId>
   • Export the secret key: gpg --export-secret-keys --armor <your_shortId> > secret_key.asc
   • The file secret_key.asc will contain the GPG secret key.
3. Store the following secrets Github actions secrets:
   • OSSRH_USERNAME
   • OSSRH_PASSWORD
   • GPG_SECRET_KEY
   • GPG_PASSPHRASE
4. In the Speakeasy workflow file (opens in a new tab), add useSonatypeLegacy: true:

5. In the java section of gen.yaml, provide the additional configuration required for publishing to Sonatype legacy:

C# NuGet

1. Create a NuGet (opens in a new tab) account.
2. Create a NuGet API key:
   • Set the Package Owner field to the user or organization that will "own" the SDK artifact.
   • Ensure the API key has the relevant Push scope. If the package already exists, the API key may not need "Push new packages and package versions" permissions.
   • Populate the Glob Pattern and Available Packages fields in a way that allows publishing the SDK. Use the packageName specified in the gen.yaml file.
3. Store the NUGET_API_KEY in the GitHub Actions secrets.
4. In the C# section of gen.yaml add:
   
   

   csharp:

   packageName: MyPackageName # Ensure this matches the desired NuGet package ID

   packageTags: sdk api client # Provide space-separated tags for searching on NuGet

   enableSourceLink: true # Enables publishing with Source Link for better debugging

   includeDebugSymbols: true # Includes .pdb files for publishing a symbol package (.snupkg)

   
   
5. In the info section of the OpenAPI document, describe what the package is for in the description property (opens in a new tab), which will be visible when searching for the package on NuGet.
6. In the externalDocs section of the OpenAPI document, provide the website's homepage in the url property (opens in a new tab). The URL will be visible in the package's "About" section.
7. In the root of the repository:
   • Add a LICENSE[.md|.txt] file (opens in a new tab).
   • Add a 128x128 dimension image file called icon[.jpg|.png]to display on the NuGet package page.
   • Review the NUGET.md file, which is similar to the main README.md but excludes the SDK Installation and Available Operations sections. For more details, see Editing Your SDK Docs.

Publishing in the Speakeasy Dashboard

The SDK publishing tab in the Speakeasy dashboard provides an overview of the publishing history and offers various utilities for setting up and maintaining SDK publishing.

https://app.speakeasy.com/

If package manager secrets were not set during the initial SDK repo setup, the publishing dashboard provides an interface to attach these secrets to the repository.

For GitHub actions set up with mode:pr, the publishing dashboard highlights open PRs in the SDK repo that are pending release. This view displays the exact SDK version that will be published upon merging the PR.
