Shortcut Assistant

The JS API Client for Shortcut was autogenerated from Swagger and left a lot to be desired. It didn’t offer an obvious way to do things (from the Zen of Python) and each API action was a separate method on the primary client instance.

Enter my API Client alternative:

It offers a more Object-Oriented approach, where each resource has a different service branching off of the main client (ex. client.stories). Once you have an instance of some resource, the methods available on that resource are intuitive (want to leave a comment on a story? It’s as easy as story.comment! Compare that to client.createStoryComment)
