Hi, This is interesting indeed. The meta descriptions in JSON are cool and most probably usable. It would be a huge project, though, given how many APIs/products there are, even with auto generation.
A long time ago I did a AWS S3 client that is still part of Zinc HTTP Components (https://github.com/svenvc/zinc), although I believe the authentication/signing model is old now.
