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.
