AliyunOpenAPI

An SDK builder for Aliyun / Alibaba Cloud OpenAPI.

This package is an SDK builder. It provides utilities to reduce the cost of creating an SDK, such as:

• building requests
• signing requests
• sending requests
• ...

And, this package was designed according to certain principles:

• It provides only low-level APIs.
• It doesn't touch the response body.
• It doesn't provide one-to-one mapping against all available APIs. See the reason in FAQ.

Notes

This package is still in its early stages, so it may still undergo significant changes, potentially leading to breaking changes.

Installation

Add :aliyun_open_api to the list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:aliyun_open_api, "~> <version>"}
  ]
end

Usage

For more information, see the documentation.

FAQ

Why not providing one-to-one mapping against all available APIs?

Because:

• It's hard to do the mapping automatically:
  • The official API documentation isn't structured data.
  • It's hard to parse and map them to API requests.
• It's hard to do all the mapping manually:
  • It's a tedius work.
  • It's error-prone.
• For an individual like me, this is a significant amount of work. I don't want to spend my time on such things.

And, in most real apps, it's rare that all available APIs are required. In general, only a few API are required. So, mapping what is required is acceptable.

The simpler, the better.

Why not using a simple and short name?

I want to describe what a package does clearly and explicitly. The length of a name doesn't matter, as long as it is clear and explicit.
