Building API Integrations Shouldn’t Require Re-Reading Docs Every Time

Sometimes it feels like building software isn’t the hard part — rebuilding the same integrations over and over is.

Every time I started a new project, I found myself:

  • Searching for the same API docs
  • Copy-pasting an old webhook handler
  • Debugging the same auth flow
  • Fixing missing env variables
  • Rewriting the same config boilerplate

None of it moved the project forward. It was just the tax you paid before the real work began.

So I asked myself:

"Why isn't there a reusable, production-ready playground of integrations for Next.js?"

There wasn’t — so I built one.


What I Wanted

  • One place to grab verified real-world integrations
  • Webhooks already implemented and tested
  • Verified auth flows
  • TypeScript-first patterns
  • Examples that matched how modern Next.js apps are built

Not tutorials. Not copy-paste snippets.

Actual working building blocks.


The Result

That’s what became Integrate API — a toolkit plus a Chrome extension that helps you ship integrations fast, without guessing.

It now includes integrations for:

  • Stripe
  • Supabase
  • SendGrid
  • Liveblocks
  • Meilisearch
  • UploadThing
  • And 10 more

If You Build SaaS or Client Apps

This saves time — and honestly sanity.

If you're curious:

Would you want a feature like "generate integration per project type"?

I’m exploring it — curious what devs think.
