About DataFire
DataFire is an open-source framework for building and integrating APIs. It provides over 1,000 integrations, including AWS, Azure, MongoDB, Slack, GitHub, Twilio, Trello, Square, Google Sheets, Gmail and Heroku, each exposing a set of composable actions.
New actions can be built by combining existing actions with JavaScript and external modules, and the topics point to OpenAPI, REST client generation and RSS handling. That makes it usable both as a way to call many third-party APIs from Node.js and as a way to define your own APIs.
DataFire is MIT licensed and distributed on npm. It suits developers wiring up integrations between SaaS tools or exposing their own API endpoints in JavaScript, with documentation available on its website.
