# Generate SDKs for an API using AWS CLI commands in API Gateway
<a name="how-to-generate-sdk-cli"></a>

You can use AWS CLI to generate and download an SDK of an API for a supported platform by calling the [get-sdk](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/apigateway/get-sdk.html) command. We demonstrate this for some of the supported platforms in the following.

## Generate and download the Java for Android SDK using the AWS CLI
<a name="how-to-generate-sdk-cli-android"></a>

To generate and download a Java for Android SDK generated by API Gateway of an API (`udpuvvzbkc`) at a given stage (`test`), call the command as follows:

```
aws apigateway get-sdk \
            --rest-api-id udpuvvzbkc \
            --stage-name test \
            --sdk-type android \
            --parameters groupId='com.mycompany',\
                invokerPackage='com.mycompany.myApiSdk',\ 
                artifactId='myApiSdk',\
                artifactVersion='0.0.1' \
            ~/apps/myApi/myApi-android-sdk.zip
```

The last input of `~/apps/myApi/myApi-android-sdk.zip` is the path to the downloaded SDK file named `myApi-android-sdk.zip`.

## Generate and download the JavaScript SDK using the AWS CLI
<a name="how-to-generate-sdk-cli-js"></a>

To generate and download a JavaScript SDK generated by API Gateway of an API (`udpuvvzbkc`) at a given stage (`test`), call the command as follows:

```
aws apigateway get-sdk \
            --rest-api-id udpuvvzbkc \
            --stage-name test \
            --sdk-type javascript \
            ~/apps/myApi/myApi-js-sdk.zip
```

The last input of `~/apps/myApi/myApi-js-sdk.zip` is the path to the downloaded SDK file named `myApi-js-sdk.zip`.

## Generate and download the Ruby SDK using the AWS CLI
<a name="how-to-generate-sdk-cli-ruby"></a>

To generate and download a Ruby SDK of an API (`udpuvvzbkc`) at a given stage (`test`), call the command as follows:

```
aws apigateway get-sdk \
            --rest-api-id udpuvvzbkc \
            --stage-name test  \
            --sdk-type ruby \
            --parameters service.name=myApiRubySdk,ruby.gem-name=myApi,ruby.gem-version=0.01 \
            ~/apps/myApi/myApi-ruby-sdk.zip
```

The last input of `~/apps/myApi/myApi-ruby-sdk.zip` is the path to the downloaded SDK file named `myApi-ruby-sdk.zip`.

 Next, we show how to use the generated SDK to call the underlying API. For more information, see [Invoke REST APIs in API Gateway](how-to-call-api.md).
