  First-party distributions of the OpenAPI Generator tool itself, verified live
  against each public registry on 2026-08-06. These are the product (a CLI, a
  library, build-tool plugins and a container image) rather than client SDKs for
  the hosted Online Generator API — that API (api.openapi-generator.tech) ships
  no client library of its own. Version numbers below are the latest published
  at probe time; npm publishes the wrapper's own version line (2.x), separate
  from the generator release line (7.x).

client_sdks_note: >-
  The hosted Online Generator API at api.openapi-generator.tech publishes no
  first-party client library in any language; it is a five-path anonymous REST
  API intended for direct HTTP use. No SDKs pointer is emitted for that reason.
