Blueprint

Merge Blueprint is an AI-powered tool that assesses API (application programming interface) structures and translates them into consistent data schemas used in Unified APIs. It enables anyone to contribute to Merge’s Unified APIs and speed up integration development. With Blueprint, you can confirm how compatible an API is with Merge’s Unified API and submit an integration request if it is not yet supported. By inputting the documentation URL for an API, Blueprint automatically generates the API definition to Merge’s Common Models, which is a uniform data schema for all integrations. Blueprint then provides an output for developers to request adding their API to Merge’s Unified API. To use Blueprint, you have to provide the API’s URL to the public documentation. Blueprint shows a sample output with a few endpoints, and to view the complete results, you need to submit a valid email address. Blueprint’s connections are not representative of an actual integration, but rather a starting point for the engineering team when building new integrations. Blueprint is currently in beta, and its results may not be accurate. Supported by Merge’s AI technology, Blueprint aims to build better integrations that accelerate integration development processes by automating and standardizing the API to Merge’s Common Models. This tool is particularly useful for developers and businesses who want to integrate an API with Merge’s Unified API and do not have in-depth knowledge of data schemas and standardization.
