A guide to our API evaluation criteria

Merge's integration development team evaluates APIs based on several key criteria, including data quality and accessibility, authentication, sandbox and UI access, and other factors such as API stability and maturity, and support. The team considers the consistency of data format, comprehensiveness of data, unique identifiers, and timely and reliable data delivery when assessing an API's data quality. Additionally, secure authentication protocols, reliable authentication flow, and robust security practices are essential for ensuring the security and reliability of the data. Merge also requires access to a sandbox account with UI access and publicly accessible documentation to test and build connectors. By applying these criteria, the team can ensure that the data accessed by their system and customers is complete, accurate, and secure, ultimately providing a best-in-class product and service. The company's Unified API enables hundreds of integrations, and its integration platform manages customer integrations, making it a comprehensive solution for businesses.
