It won't be any surprise for the developers around here if I say that integrating APIs into your app could be a real pain... right?
Thanks to Pizzly you can easily handle authentication and authorization on oAuth APIs, make subsequent authenticated API calls and it even takes care of refreshing tokens for you!
I used Pizzly in my latest integrations projects and it worked like a charm!
Really happy to see it open sourced :)
👯♀️ Usually the Oauth dance is like high school prom: awkward, intimidating, and unclear next steps. Pizzly abstracts away the Oauth dance so you can spend time circling around the code that matters - your own. Does my analogy make sense? No. I know it doesn't. That's why I recommend going to download Pizzly from GitHub for yourself and see what the buzz is about. Open source FTW!
Hi,
I’m Guillaume, founder of Bearer.sh and now an also proud maker of Pizzly, the open-source project helping developers integrate APIs faster than ever!
We are in 2020, developers hate integrating APIs, and yet we build new APIs every day... something is definitely wrong. Integrating with an API sounds often more like fighting a framework than having fun building cool new features. How many times did you say “give me 10 minutes” and it ended up being 2 hours, just to figure out how to connect to the API? We say not anymore!
With Pizzly, we wanted to help simplify this journey without trying to reinvent the wheel nor change how to call APIs. And since we are developers, we believe in code and Open Source.
Pizzly helps developers to build API integrations much faster, thanks to its ability to automatically manage OAuth flow and providing over 80 pre-built API configurations. While supporting only OAuth APIs at the moment, we aim with Pizzly to simplify all API integrations.
Today, developers at Typeform, Pento, and many more companies are already using Pizzly in their project, dozens have contributed to the project and we hope many of you will!
If you’re not a developer, make sure to tell your friends and colleagues, because we are all better off with having more integrations across the beloved product we use every day.
Thanks to everyone in the community and please, reach out with questions, feedback, and thoughts. Is there anything you are missing today? What features do you wish existed? Share your thoughts, and let's contribute together to help integrate APIs faster and better than ever 💪
PS: Thanks @picsoung for hunting us 🎉! We are thrilled to be here.
As a developer, I am always looking for smart tools allowing me to gain time and reduce programming complexity. Pizzly is one of these tool I needed! Congratulations!
@g_montard this is massive.
This is a huge trend and you guys are riding it beautifully.
We are expanding our integrations with CRMs at Sonar so this is going to be a game changer.
Congrats!
I mostly use Laravel for my bigger projects which uses the Socialite package that makes things super easy. But for NodeJs devs this could be a really really useful tool. And best of all it's open-source.
Thanks @csaba_kissi ! So far SDKs are made towards JavaScript, as the project is built in Node. But the SDKs are mostly HTTP clients. If your application is using PHP, Go, Python, or any other programming language, you would just need to query Pizzly's proxy with the righ HTTP client.
Hi, I'm Cédric, co-founder and CTO at Bearer.sh and super happy to contribute to the open-source community with Pizzly.
We have been using Pizzly for months now and there is no way back.
As a software engineer, I spent years in the industry, and every time I got asked to integrate with a 3rd Party API, I knew it would take some time as I had to go through the documentation and understand how one API would be different from another one. With Pizzly, once you have integrated one, well you are basically done with the others and you don't have to do it all over again.
Give it a try and don't hesitate to try, share, and contribute!
PS: Thanks @picsoung for the hunt!
Really excited to launch Pizzly on @ProductHunt today! And really amazed to be part of the growing open-source community around Pizzly. We act towards making OAuth great and have all put lots of effort in it.
From 0 to integration, in less than 5 minutes. That was the promise and Pizzly definitely makes it a reality 🚀
You can spend hours - even days 😱 - building your own API integrations.
OR you can use Pizzly to do it in less than 5 minutes ⚡️
And it's open-source!
👉 An absolute no-brainer for developers
@cuireuncroco Thanks a lot Jean! Pizzly is definitely well-suited both for big API integrations builders. That's how we use it at @Bearersh. But it works really well as well for a minimal integration as well. Here's an example: https://community.bearer.sh/push...
hi guys, quick question.
As a low code developer/marketeer I always get very excited when integrations such as these get released. Just a general question.
I'm using a lot of in integromat for building integrations between apps. I'm curious what are the differences and similarities between the two.
@wouter_vonk1 good question!
Pizzly is a developer-tool. It helps developers to build API integrations, by handling some parts of the integration logic (i.e. OAuth). You still need to code though. Which is great if you need to achieve very specific features.
Integromat is more like a Zapier. Some scenarios have been already built by Integromat's team and you can plug & play with those. If the scenario is not available, you need to build it (with Pizzly for example).
Both have different targets:
👨🎤 Integromat = no-code
🤓 Pizzly = custom-code
@ahmad_ak the difference is that this is a full A-Z solution. It deals with the Frontend (there is a JS library and a React) as well as the Backend.
With passport.js you still have to write loads of code while here it deals with everything and is easily extensible. Give the demo a try or deploy to heroku and simply get started :-)
