Merge Blueprint is an innovative AI-powered feature designed to redefine the way integrations are built. Now available in beta, Blueprint allows anyone to contribute to Merge’s Unified APIs and accelerate the development of integrations. By simply inputting the documentation URL for an API, Blueprint can automatically generate the API definition (‘blueprint’) that aligns with Merge’s Common Models, streamlining the integration process significantly.
Features
- AI-Powered Integration Building: Utilizes AI to generate API definitions quickly.
- Compatibility Confirmation: Checks an API’s compatibility with Merge’s Unified API.
- Common Models: Standardizes third-party endpoints and fields to Merge’s Common Models.
- Contribution to Unified APIs: Allows users to request the addition of Blueprint’s output to Merge’s Unified APIs.
- Beta Access: Users can experience and contribute to the evolving capabilities of Blueprint.
How It Works
- Input API Documentation URL: Provide the URL for the public documentation of the API you want to integrate.
- AI Analysis: Blueprint automatically analyzes the documentation and generates the API definition.
- Review Output: Examine the sample output provided by Blueprint.
- Integration Request: If Merge does not support the integration yet, submit a request for consideration.
Benefits
- Rapid Development: Significantly speeds up the process of integrating new services.
- Ease of Use: Simplifies the initial steps of building integrations for developers.
- Streamlined Process: Offers a clear path from documentation to a standardized API definition.
- Community Contribution: Empowers the community to expand the range of integrations available.
Pricing
