Build your own
Open source is in our DNA – and our data microservices aggregation platform, Pipeline API, is no exception. We're here to make the digital world more rewarding for everyone. That's why we've designed Pipeline API so that you can add your own data services and custom engines.
It's a tinkerer's treat. A dabbler's dream. A player's paradise. A meddler's mecca. A nerd's nirva… OK, you get the picture: it's a sweet ride and you've got the keys.
Without Pipeline API
A slow web page holding together with copious JavaScript, polyfills, and mind-numbing regression testing.
With Pipeline API
A slick, speedy web page majestically orchestrating all your data together in real time.
Why build your own?
Sell your data services to others
Pipeline API is also a unique platform for vendors, allowing you to get your data services into the hands of digital businesses and web professionals around the world. As part of the Pipeline API open source community, you can enjoy advantages of regularly updated data files and easy customer deployment with brilliant documentation. Plus, we can support you with sales and marketing.
Streamline the data services you use
The beauty of Pipeline API is the way it brings multiple real-time data microservices together into a single API request. For example, you can deploy our device detection and geolocation data together with your internal first-party user profile data in a way that's easy to orchestrate, manage, and consume.
A single API call returns all the data your web page needs from the same domain, while enjoying all the performance benefits of HTTP/2 when switched on. This means there's no need to coordinate multiple APIs across messy and complex JavaScript (which notoriously needs bizarre polyfills to work on most browsers – or breaks down entirely). Then there's the unmissable performance boost as the beefy server does all the heavy lifting, setting the web browser's user experience to maximum.
