REST API

Connect any REST API with a base URL and an auth method, or import an OpenAPI file. The Bench reads the endpoints and builds screens that call them, with pagination, retries and error states handled. Secrets stay in Chamfer's credential store, and every call is logged with its caller.

01 — Overview

Half the systems a team relies on have an API and no admin screen. Connect the API once with its base URL and auth method, such as a bearer token, OAuth 2.0 or a custom header, and describe the job the tool should do. If you have an OpenAPI or Swagger file, import it and the Bench learns every endpoint, parameter and response shape at once. Pagination, retries and error states are handled for you, so a slow endpoint shows a clear message instead of a blank screen.

Apps call the API from Chamfer’s servers, never from the browser, so tokens are never exposed to users. Add rate limits per app, retries for flaky endpoints and a Sign-off for any call that moves money or deletes data. The Logbook records each request with the user, endpoint, status code and duration, which makes a failed call easy to trace.

02 — What you can do

OpenAPI import

Import an OpenAPI or Swagger file and the Bench builds forms from its parameters.

Server-side calls

Requests run from Chamfer's servers, so tokens and keys never reach the browser.

Request history

Every call is logged with user, endpoint, status and timing, ready to filter or export.
