Connect Custom API to Specky
Import data from any REST API endpoint.
Specky pulls from Custom API on a schedule
Once connected, Specky keeps itself up to date with Custom API in the background — refreshing when you open your workspace, or on demand whenever you want it now rather than later.

Before you connect it
What does Specky do with my Custom API data?
It becomes part of your product graph: searchable, clustered with related feedback from your other tools, and quotable in PRDs and decisions. It is never used to train AI models, and it stays in your workspace.
Will Specky import my existing Custom API history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent history so you have something to work with straight away, and Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need to connect Custom API?
API Endpoint, API Key / Bearer Token — all of it from your own Custom API account. The full walkthrough is in the setup guide.
How long does it take to set up?
A few minutes. You create a credential in Custom API, paste it into Specky, and you're connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect Custom API later?
Yes, from Settings → Integrations, at any time. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Do I need to be on a paid plan?
Every plan can connect integrations; the number you can run at once depends on your plan, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
