Target user

Developers who combine data from multiple external APIs

Problem

Developers need to combine data from multiple external APIs into a unified response with caching and error handling without building custom integration code for each source.

Requirements

  • Configure multiple API data sources
  • Transform and map API responses
  • Cache responses with TTL
  • Handle API errors gracefully
  • Provide unified query endpoint

Core technologies

TypeScript, Hono, Redis

Completion criteria

Users can configure API sources, aggregate data with caching and error handling, and query through a unified endpoint.

Optional extensions

  • Add webhook notifications
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Add data merging strategies
  • Support GraphQL federation
