Should You Use a Unified API Approach? feat. Gil Feig, Co-Founder of Merge

API Intersection

This week on the API Intersection podcast, we spoke with Gil Feig, Co-Founder of Merge, a company focused on building unified APIs that users can embed into their products and offer integrations to their customers. Merge offers one API to integrate with all HR, payroll, directory, recruiting, accounting, ticketing, and CRM platforms. During his enterprise engineering days, Gil noticed a constant need for companies to integrate their software with other platforms via APIs, so he sought to solve that problem via a concept called unified APIs.

We spoke with Gil to understand the significant benefits of a unified API approach and some of the downsides to help educate the community on if this approach is the right fit for your own API strategy.
