From idea to live API

A typical workflow for bringing a digital product from concept to production with UniCore.

You have a digital product idea (e.g. analytics API, data aggregation service, IoT dashboard backend). You want to focus on your core API and data model, not on auth, billing, or workflow glue.

Step by step

Develop your API

Build your REST API and publish its OpenAPI spec (Swagger).

Register an API Relay

Give UniCore your API's base URL and its Swagger description. UniCore creates a relay under /eps/{your-product}/....

Define a product

Create a product and attach your API relay (and any UniCore endpoints you need).

Set up subscription plans

Create plans (e.g. Free, Pro, Enterprise) with quotas, roles, and product access.

Design automations

Use the graphical pipeline editor to build flows: webhook trigger → validate → transform → store; timer → fetch → process → notify; IoT webhook → pipeline → outgoing webhook.

Go live

Users authenticate via UniCore, get subscription-based access, and quotas are enforced automatically on every relayed call.

Result

Your team focuses on the API and data; UniCore provides user management, permission control, subscription/plan enforcement, and event-based workload automation. Everything is configurable through the UI and the graphical editor.
