Developer Portal
This is the technical home for the EffectiveLayer platform. The API is in early development — this portal documents where things are headed and gives developers early visibility into the architecture.
Pre-release: The EffectiveLayer API is not yet publicly available.
This portal is published for transparency and to enable early partner integration planning.
Endpoint signatures may change before v1 launch.

Quickstart
When the API goes live, getting started will look like this. The patterns are stable even if the endpoints are not finalized.
Install
bash
# Node.js SDK (coming soon) npm install @effectivelayer/sdk # Python SDK (coming soon) pip install effectivelayer
Initialize
javascript
import { EffectiveLayer } from '@effectivelayer/sdk'; const el = new EffectiveLayer({ apiKey: process.env.EL_API_KEY, baseUrl: 'https://api.effectivelayer.io/v1' }); // Check connection const status = await el.status(); console.log(status); // { connected: true, plan: 'standard' }
Planned Endpoints
The following endpoints represent the v1 API surface currently in design. Paths and response shapes may change.
All endpoints will be versioned under /v1/.
Authentication will use Bearer tokens issued via the developer dashboard.
