Passthrough API: A New Way to Connect with Your Integrations
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified.to has introduced the Passthrough API, a feature designed for developers needing to access additional data from vendor-specific API endpoints that Unified.to does not currently support. This new capability allows users to leverage existing Unified.to connections and authentication processes while directly accessing any API endpoint at the integration's API. The Passthrough API simplifies the process by requiring users to specify connection details, API paths, HTTP methods, and any necessary data or query parameters when sending a request. Unified.to manages the vendor authentication and forwards requests and responses without altering them, thus enabling access to unsupported vendor APIs as long as a valid connection exists. Developers can begin using the Passthrough API by checking their connections via the Unified.to dashboard, consulting the API documentation for request formatting, and utilizing their preferred tools to engage with the Passthrough endpoint. This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and utility of Unified.to's integration capabilities, with ongoing encouragement for user feedback to refine the service.
