  • API product being configured

The heart of API Builder is the relationship between the source datasets, the request fields users send, and the response fields the platform returns.

Dataset configuration

Users can:

  • bind one dataset or multiple datasets
  • set precedence when multiple datasets are involved
  • choose the data source that should dominate matching behavior

Request configuration

Instead of writing code, users define which fields should drive matching and how the API should interpret incoming requests.

Response configuration

Users also decide which fields should be returned so the API exposes only the information the downstream client actually needs.
