Apideck Connector Coverage

Apideck Connector Coverage Skill

Overview

Not all Apideck connectors support all operations. Before building an integration, always check connector coverage to avoid runtime errors. The Connector API provides real-time metadata about which operations each connector supports.

IMPORTANT RULES

• ALWAYS check connector coverage before recommending an integration approach. Never assume a connector supports an operation.
• If an operation is not supported, suggest alternatives: a different connector, pass-through to the raw API, or a workaround using supported operations.
• USE the Connector API to verify coverage programmatically. Do not rely on hardcoded lists.
• When a user reports a 501 Not Implemented or UnsupportedOperationError, check coverage first.

Checking Coverage

Using the SDK (TypeScript)

import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";

const apideck = new Apideck({
  apiKey: process.env["APIDECK_API_KEY"] ?? "",
  appId: "your-app-id",
  consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});

// List all connectors for an API
const { data } = await apideck.connector.connectorResources.get({
  id: "crm",
  resourceId: "contacts",
});
// Returns coverage per connector: which operations are supported

// Get specific connector details
const { data: connector } = await apideck.connector.connectors.get({
  id: "salesforce",
});
// Returns: name, status, auth_type, supported_resources, supported_events

Using the REST API

# List connectors for a unified API
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors?filter[unified_api]=crm' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-apideck-app-id: {APP_ID}'

# Get connector details including supported resources
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/connectors/salesforce' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-apideck-app-id: {APP_ID}'

# Get API resource coverage (which connectors support what)
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/connector/apis/crm/resources/contacts' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-apideck-app-id: {APP_ID}'

Using the Vault API

Check which connections a consumer has and their state:

const { data } = await apideck.vault.connections.list({
  api: "crm",
});

for (const conn of data) {
  console.log(`${conn.serviceId}: ${conn.state} (enabled: ${conn.enabled})`);
  // state: available | callable | added | authorized | invalid
}

Coverage States

Each operation on a connector has a coverage status:

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | supported | Fully implemented and tested | | beta | Implemented but may have edge cases | | not_supported | Not available for this connector |

Common Coverage Patterns

Accounting API

| Operation | QuickBooks | Xero | NetSuite | Sage Intacct | FreshBooks | |-----------|-----------|------|----------|--------------|------------| | Invoices CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Bills CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Partial | | Payments | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Journal Entries | Full | Full | Full | Full | Limited | | Balance Sheet | Full | Full | Full | Full | No | | Tax Rates (read) | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full |

CRM API

| Operation | Salesforce | HubSpot | Pipedrive | Zoho CRM | Close | |-----------|-----------|---------|-----------|----------|-------| | Contacts CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Companies CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Leads CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Opportunities | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Activities | Full | Full | Full | Full | Partial | | Pipelines (read) | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full |

HRIS API

| Operation | BambooHR | Workday | Personio | Gusto | Rippling | |-----------|---------|---------|----------|-------|----------| | Employees CRUD | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Departments | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full | | Payrolls (read) | Full | Partial | Partial | Full | Full | | Time-Off | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full |

Handling Unsupported Operations

When an operation isn't supported for a connector:

1. Use Pass-Through (Proxy API)

Make direct calls to the downstream API through Apideck's proxy:

// Direct pass-through to the downstream API
const response = await fetch("https://unify.apideck.com/proxy", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    "x-apideck-app-id": appId,
    "x-apideck-consumer-id": consumerId,
    "x-apideck-service-id": "salesforce",
    "x-apideck-downstream-url": "https://api.salesforce.com/services/data/v59.0/sobjects/CustomObject__c",
    "x-apideck-downstream-method": "GET",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
});

2. Check for Alternative Resources

Some connectors map the same data to different unified resources. For example, a "deal" in Pipedrive maps to "opportunities" in the unified CRM API.

3. Suggest a Different Connector

If the user's chosen connector doesn't support an operation, suggest alternatives that do. Use the Connector API to find connectors that support the specific operation.

4. Feature Request

If a critical operation is missing, users can request it at https://github.com/apideck-libraries or through the Apideck dashboard.

Connector Authentication Types

| Auth Type | Description | Connectors | |-----------|-------------|------------| | oauth2 | OAuth 2.0 flow (managed by Vault) | Most cloud SaaS (Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks Online, etc.) | | apiKey | API key authentication | Some self-hosted or simpler services | | basic | Username/password | Legacy systems, on-premise | | custom | Connector-specific auth | Varies |

Vault handles all OAuth flows. Users authorize via the Vault modal — you never need to implement OAuth yourself.

Debugging Coverage Issues

When an API call fails:

1. Check the error type — UnsupportedOperationError or 501 means the operation isn't implemented
2. Verify connection state — Use vault.connections.list() to check the connection is authorized
3. Check connector coverage — Use the Connector API to verify the operation is supported
4. Check field support — Some connectors support an operation but not all fields. Missing fields return null
5. Use raw mode — Add raw=true to see the downstream response for debugging
