Prompt-Enhanced Webhooks are webhooks that use prompts, often powered by artificial intelligence, to process or enrich the data they receive before passing it on to another service or application. Instead of simply forwarding information, these webhooks can interpret, summarise, or modify the content based on instructions provided in a prompt. This makes automated workflows more…

Guarded Function Calls
Guarded function calls are a programming technique where a function is only called if certain conditions are met. This helps prevent errors or unwanted behaviour by checking that it is safe to run the function. It is often used to ensure variables have the right values or that resources are available before proceeding.
Function-Calling Schemas
Function-calling schemas are structured ways for software applications to define how different functions can be called, what information they need, and what results they return. These schemas act as blueprints, organising the communication between different parts of a program or between different systems. They make it easier for developers to ensure consistency, reduce errors, and…
API Rate Control Patterns
API rate control patterns are techniques used to manage how often clients can make requests to an application programming interface. These patterns help prevent overloading a server by limiting the number of requests in a given timeframe. Common patterns include fixed window, sliding window, token bucket, and leaky bucket, each with its own way of…
Dynamic Form Builder
A dynamic form builder is a software tool or feature that allows users to create, edit and manage digital forms without needing to write code. Users can add different types of fields, such as text boxes, dropdowns and checkboxes, by dragging and dropping them onto the form. The form layout and questions can be changed…
Schema Validator
A schema validator is a tool or software component that checks whether data follows a specific structure or format, known as a schema. It ensures that information, such as JSON or XML files, matches the rules defined in the schema, like required fields or data types. This helps prevent errors by catching mistakes before the…
API Traffic Manager
An API Traffic Manager is a tool or service that controls and monitors the flow of data between users or applications and an API. It helps ensure that APIs are used efficiently and reliably by managing requests, limiting usage, and balancing loads. This can protect the API from being overwhelmed and maintain a smooth experience…
Multi-Channel Router
A multi-channel router is a device or software system that directs data or communications through multiple separate channels at the same time. This allows information to be sent and received more efficiently, as different types of data can travel along different paths. Multi-channel routers are often used to improve speed, reliability, and flexibility in networks…
Service Router
A service router is a network device or software component that directs requests from users or applications to the correct backend service. It acts as a traffic controller, ensuring messages reach the right destination based on rules or configurations. Service routers are commonly used in environments where multiple services need to be accessed efficiently and…
API Console
An API Console is a software tool or web interface that allows users to interact with an API directly, without needing to write code. It provides fields for entering parameters, viewing available endpoints, and sending requests to see live responses from the API. This helps developers test and understand how the API works before integrating…
