Build Celigo APIs -- custom HTTP endpoints that let external systems push or query data synchronously through Celigo integrations. Use when creating APIs, proxying authenticated requests, or exposing lookup/write operations as a REST interface that returns a structured response.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- TIER:1 -->

# Building APIs

An API is a **RESTful endpoint** that exposes integration logic for external consumption. External systems call the API over HTTP; the API processes the request through lookups and imports, then returns a structured response. Concerns when building an API:

- **Mode selection** -- builder (visual configuration) vs script (full JavaScript control)
- **Request definition** -- HTTP method, URI path, parameters, body schema, request transformation
- **Processing pipeline** -- routers and page processors (lookups + imports) that execute business logic
- **Response routing** -- directing processed data to the correct response definition based on success/failure or custom conditions
- **Response shaping** -- status codes, field mappings, body schema, hooks (preMap, postMap) on each response

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add celigo/ai/building-apis@sha256:87ca9da1e9f9be9a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.e0e159f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
