Note: You can license our APIs to run in your own infrastructure or pay by request/subscription on AWS Marketplace. The choice is yours.

Introduction

Whether you are building a Web App, a Mobile App, or Server Side Components (or Microservices), you are bound to have plenty on your plate. But, don't you worry. We are here to help. We've published our API with a rich set of endpoints so you can focus on what's important to you - solving your customer's problems, and leave the rest to us.

Highlights

• Building Blocks API includes close to 400 REST Endpoints to help serve most (if not all) of your backend needs. Whether you are building a new application from scratch, or adding features/enhancements to existing apps, you can rely on the API to do a lot of the backend heavy lifting.
• The API is generic and both client and industry agnostic. What this means, for example, is that it does not matter if you are building a Mobile App for the Food Industry, or a Microservice for the Finance Industry. It will help just as much in both cases.
• By leveraging this API, you will actually be using a time tested API that has served multiple apps in production over many years. Take a look at the detailed list of features in description, and if you do not find what you are looking for, we can provided a custom solution for you.

The Need

When was the last time you got started with building something new where you weren't particularly overwhelmed? It's not just you, it's all of us. There's just a few too many pieces in the puzzle, and we could all use a bit of help. That's exactly where our APIs come into play.

We strongly believe that you should focus all your attention (and energies) in building solutions your customers have entrusted you with, and leave most (if not all) of the backend heavy lifting to someone else (read: us). This way, you and your team will have more time to do what you really, really need to do, and not worry about all the boilerplate stuff.

Start Building

Our Building Blocks API has close to 400 endpoints that should serve as building blocks to just about any product you are building. Once you subscribe, you should be able to start building right away!

Clients

How you leverage this API depends on your needs. Build a Slack App, or a Native Mobile App, or a Web App, or Server Side Microservices. That's entirely up to you.

Subscribe to API

You can subscribe to the API by clicking "View Purchase Options". When you do this, you will be redirected to a Registration Page where you will be asked to enter some details. It should take no more than a few seconds, and once you've done that, we will send you an email with the API Key.
