Self-healing data connector

superglue is an open source data transformation tool. It sits in front of horrible legacy APIs and returns only the data you need in the format you expect. Instead of writing custom code to map fields, handle different data structures, failure states and normalizing inconsistent formats, integration engineers can now define their desired output format and let superglue handle the entire transformation process automatically.

superglue 🍯 - Open Source Data Translation
See original launch post ›

Tl;dr superglue translates data from any system into exactly the format you need. It’s an open source proxy that automatically extracts, maps and transforms data so developers don’t have to write and maintain complex integration code.

Other tools say "Use our API". superglue says "Use any API, in any way you want".

Why it matters

Most companies struggle with data integration challenges daily. Energy providers pull meter readings from thousands of devices, fashion marketplaces standardize product data from various retailers, and fintech companies normalize transaction data across payment systems. Each system speaks its own language, forcing developers to write and maintain custom code to transform and normalize data. It's a massive waste of engineering resources and slows down business innovation.

What we’re building

superglue is an intelligent proxy server that automatically transforms data from external APIs into your desired format, eliminating the need for custom mapping code. By sitting between your application and APIs, it allows developers to define data structures once and apply consistent transformations across all integrations, turning complex data integration from a weeks-long project into a minutes-long configuration. The superglue proxy can sit outside your codebase - particularly good for legacy systems that are brittle and hard to change.

Key features

  • One-off LLM-powered translations: Generate deterministic, high-performance translation code.
  • Self-healing: Detect format changes and update translations automatically
  • Fast deployment: Supports most APIs and data formats out of the box
  • For enterprise: Hosting, logging, retries, caches, access control

Get Started

  1. Get access to our hosted version or install superglue as a lightweight local proxy
  2. Pick an API / data source to connect to
  3. Define your desired data output format

  1. Let superglue handle transformations and schema enforcement

How is this different from connector platforms and unified APIs?

Unlike platforms that offer predefined APIs for specific verticals and require developers to adapt to their specifications, superglue provides universal data transformation that works with any API or data source. We give developers complete flexibility to transform data however they want, without vendor lock-in. Where other platforms support a limited set of integrations, superglue can transform data from literally any source - whether it's a well-known API or a custom internal system - putting developers in full control of their data pipelines.

What if I want to own the integrations I build?

You totally can with superglue. As an open-source solution, we provide full transparency and the ability to modify transformation logic at any level, ensuring you're never trapped in a black box. Unlike closed integration platforms, you own 100% of the integration logic. You can host the entire solution on your own infrastructure, with full access to source code and transformation rules.

About us

Stefan and Adina first met in 2019 while studying in Munich. Their shared experience in the integration space led them to superglue.
