Summary

Nango provides a comprehensive infrastructure for SaaS products and AI agents to integrate with over 500 external APIs. It aims to significantly reduce development time and complexity for building and maintaining integrations, offering features like unified API authentication, secure credential management, data syncing, and an embedded UI, enabling developers to focus on core product value.

How It Works

Nango offers a modular infrastructure for building reliable, scalable product integrations. Its core approach provides a unified API authentication layer for numerous services, secure credential management (retrieval, storage, refreshing, monitoring), request proxying, and continuous data syncing. This allows engineering teams to delegate external API interaction complexities to Nango, focusing on seamless product mappings and user experience.
