>log in to commentToday we're launching Manifest API Bot. The problem APIs change all the time. Tracking what changed, checking whether it affects your code and fixing it before something breaks gets painful fast. The solution API Bot keeps upstream API changes from breaking your app. One-click setup: connect your repo and you're done. It prepares the update before the change breaks your app. Changes come as pull requests, ready for your team to review. Works with any API, not just a predefined catalog. How it works API Bot finds the APIs your app relies on and tracks their changes. When one affects your code, it opens a pull request with the fix already prepared. Think of it as Dependabot for APIs. Who it's for SaaS teams with a long integrations page. Unified API and connector platforms. E-commerce, logistics and fintech products built on third-party APIs. Agencies maintaining many client apps. API Bot is free. Be the one whose integrations never break.
Manifest API Bot is a GitHub App that detects upstream API changes and opens pull requests with required code updates.

- Manifest API Bot vs Insomnia: Insomnia is a REST/GraphQL client focused on manual testing, not PR generation.
- Manifest API Bot vs n8n: n8n automates workflows but doesn’t monitor API schema changes for code updates.
- Manifest API Bot vs Activepieces: Activepieces offers open-source automation similar to Zapier, not API break-change detection.
Manifest API Bot FAQ
Can I run Manifest on my own servers?+
Yes. The bot is MIT-licensed, available as a Docker image, and the Free plan runs on-premise with no request limit.
What does Enterprise add over Pro?+
Enterprise provides multi-seat team management, SSO/SAML, audit logs, custom retention, SLA guarantees, and dedicated support.
Do you take a cut of our token spend?+
No. You provide your own provider keys and pay providers directly; Manifest does not mark up tokens.
Can Manifest deploy and run the bot for us?+
Enterprise includes deployment assistance and ongoing support via Slack; otherwise you can host it yourself.
