OpenAPI generator for C#, having issues with an endpoint that returns two types
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a fork of a generated library and attempting to bring my own changes to it, by creating a wrapper for .NET DI and and cleaning up how the API is used.
If you look at https://github.com/vrchatapi/vrchatapi-csharp/ you can see the generated API is quite a bit messy and the maintainers don't have much experience with C#.
My fork: https://github.com/binn/vrchatapi-csharp
I was successfuly able to implement my wrapper classes (in the wrapper/ directory, auto copied over to src/VRChat.API/Client directory on build), and upgrade openapi-generator from 6.x.x to 7.1.x
I've migrated the library to .NET 8.0 and added a couple dependencies, these patches can be found in the
I'm aware Kiota exists and I tried it out, but it doesn't seem to generate what we're looking for and is probably not the right direction for us at this time. I wasn't sure how to make it generate in a different way but in Kiota it breaks down the path as classes, like instead of

ChatGPT and Claude asked me to make wrapper methods and change the spec, but wrapper methods may not be used by all, and I can't ensure a way to keep the cookies part of the pipeline the way the autogenerated lib has it.
But I feel like there must be a better way? If anyone has any ideas let me know.
