What Custom API does
The tool, in plain language.
Pull records from any REST endpoint and map them into the Product Graph.
Why connect it to Specky?
Keep the useful context attached.
Connect Custom API when useful product context lives there and should be available beside the rest of your Product Graph.
- Searchable source context
- Recurring themes
- Evidence-backed product decisions
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect Custom API?
Make the useful context in Custom API available when you need to answer a product question.
Specky pulls from Custom API on a schedule
Specky checks Custom API for new activity when your workspace syncs. You can also run a sync yourself whenever you need a fresh read.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- Records Specky can read from Custom API
- The credential and optional filters shown in the connect form
Specky gives back
- Typed, searchable evidence in the Product Graph
- Source-linked context for synthesis, decisions, and PRDs
A real example
Specky imports accessible records from Custom API, preserves their source context, and makes them available beside your other product evidence.
Questions you can ask in plain English
These are the kinds of questions this connection helps answer. Specky keeps the source attached so the answer can be checked, not just trusted.
Connecting Custom API
Here’s the quick version. The setup guide walks through every field and screen.

Specky calls your endpoint with the provided API key

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my Custom API data?
It becomes part of your Product Graph, where you can search it alongside related feedback from the rest of your stack. The source stays attached, and your workspace data is not used to train AI models.
Will Specky import my existing Custom API history?
Yes. The first sync brings in recent Custom API history, then Specky keeps up with new activity after that.
What do I need before I connect Custom API?
You will need API Endpoint, API Key / Bearer Token from your own Custom API account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in Custom API, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect Custom API later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use Custom API on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
Bring Custom API into your product graph
Connect it in a few minutes, then let Specky do the reading.
