@sentry_co Yes, we have our public facing services in our docs. We also have private custom integrations that we build for customers on a case by case basis.
Congrats on the launch, I know it must have been a long road up to this point!
Love the design aesthetics and the simplicity of it. As many people before me stated, I too have a few security concerns, however for now, as far as I can tell, it looks promising and it's a really great idea. Going to give it a try sometime in the near future.
Can you tell us which platforms are in the integration pipeline?
Hey Tommy,
How does the system ensure security when managing authenticated sessions on behalf of users?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo, we actually never store the credentials of any users. We are able to keep authenticated sessions alive in headless browsers and then persist them over time.
Big congratulations on Keet's launch! 🚀 Providing APIs for any website, especially with seamless user session management, is such a powerful tool for developers.
What’s been the most exciting integration you’ve seen so far?
The tool looks promising, but including a section for common troubleshooting tips or FAQs might be helpful for users who run into issues during integration.
@steven_granata Hey Steven, we are working on adding this. For the time being, our phone numbers are in the docs. Don't hesitate to reach out!
This solution seems like a fantastic way it handle the complexities of integrating with various platforms
Amazing work, @tommy_tsai1! Keet seems like it could really simplify the lives of developers by making integrations with any website possible. The Plaid-style link component is a nice touch for easy user authentication. Can you share any future plans for expanding the types of integrations Keet supports?
@renchu_song Thank you! Right now, we are building integrations based on customer requests.
The more popular consumer apps are in our docs, but we also are building a series of private integrations for legacy/API poor software that are having a huge impact for our customers!
We are really excited about both types of integrations.
Hey Zack, integration sounds cool but isn't relying too much on third-party APIs risky, what happens if the platform you're integrating with changes their authentication process, how do you handle that?
@codecraftexpert Our approach to managing the authentication process is pretty platform agnostic as there are only a limited number of ways to handle authentication on a given platform. Of course as new ways to authenticate become available we will iterate to support those as well.
Came across this on Product Hunt, seems like it might be more hassle than it's worth, the idea of managing authenticated sessions on every site sounds like a security nightmare waiting to happen maybe focus a bit more on the security aspects and less on the integration part? just my 2 cents.
So, what happens when user data gets compromised with your APIs, I've seen too many tools like this fall flat when it comes to security, how are you handling that part?
This looks really promising, Tommy! I love the idea of making previously inaccessible platforms accessible for developers. Just a quick question—does Keet support integration with lesser-known platforms too? And what’s the process if a new platform doesn’t have an API? Anyway, great job and good luck with the launch.
@noahchristopherbennett Hey Noah! We do support integrations with lesser known platforms. We have a lot of custom integrations that we do not publish publicly.
Please reach out to me and we can get started working on an integration today!
Keet's ability to provide stable integrations and manage authenticated sessions opens up so many possibilities.
Impressive work!

Wow APIs for websites, sounds cool but I wonder how they're gonna handle security and user privacy, like it feels like giving away the keys to someone's house, also do developers even need another tool for this when there are already so many options out there
Not sure how I feel about this, seems like you're putting a lot of trust in an external service with customer data which could be risky, hope you've thought about the security and privacy implications, curious to see how it plays out
Hey Tommy, this looks awesome! Quick question, though—does Keet require any specific technical knowledge? I’d love to know if non-devs can set this up easily. Thanks!
@michaelturner Hey Michael, since Keet is a developer tool there is some need for basic technical knowledge, but we spend a lot of time focusing on making our docs accessible to anyone. If you want help getting setup we'd be happy to set up a time to chat and walk you through the setup process.
I see this offers APIs for various websites. Do you provide any support for developers who might be new to using APIs?
