Unlocking Your Business Logic: Convert Workflows into APIs with api.mw

Your business is built on smart, efficient workflows. But what if those workflows could be more than just internal processes? What if they could be the foundation for new services, seamless integrations, and powerful automation? With api.mw, powered by the innovative .do platform, you can transform your internal workflows and custom business logic into accessible and scalable APIs, unlocking new possibilities for your organization.

Why Turn Workflows into APIs?

Making your internal processes available as APIs offers a wealth of benefits:

• Enhanced Integration: Connect your core business logic to other internal systems, third-party applications, and partner networks with ease.
• Accelerated Automation: Drive automation projects by programmatically triggering and interacting with your automated processes.
• Improved Accessibility: Make business data and functionality available to teams and systems that need it, without requiring deep internal knowledge.
• Greater Reusability: Define a workflow once and reuse it across multiple applications and services via its API endpoint.
• Simplified Development: Build new applications and services by consuming existing workflow APIs, rather than rebuilding logic from scratch.
• Scalability: Leverage the power of the .do platform to ensure your workflow APIs can handle increasing demand.

Introducing api.mw: Transforming Workflows with .do

api.mw is the bridge between your internal workflows and the external world of APIs. Built on the robust .do Agentic Workflow Platform, api.mw simplifies the complex task of exposing your business logic as clean, reliable API endpoints. You don't need to be an API development expert or build extensive backend infrastructure.

The .do platform provides the underlying power, allowing you to define, deploy, manage, and scale your workflows using Agentic principles. api.mw focuses on the crucial step of making these powerful, automated processes consumable via standard API calls.

How api.mw Works with .do

The process is straightforward:

1. Define Your Workflow on .do: Use the .do platform's expressive tools to define your business process or custom logic. This could involve integrating with various systems, performing data transformations, making decisions, and more.
2. Expose as an API via api.mw: Within the .do environment, you specify which workflows or specific steps within a workflow you want to expose as an API endpoint using the api.mw interface.
3. Automated API Generation: api.mw automatically generates the necessary API endpoints and documentation (often in OpenAPI format) based on your workflow definition.
4. Integrate and Use: Your workflow is now accessible as a standard API that can be called from any application or system.

Here's a simple illustration of how a workflow definition on .do could be structured, ready to be exposed via api.mw:

import { Agent } from "@dotagent/agent";

const manageWorkflow = new Agent("manageWorkflow")
  .input("workflowId: string")
  .output("status: string")
  .run(async (ctx) => {
    // Logic to manage the workflow (e.g., start, stop, monitor)
    console.log(`Managing workflow: ${ctx.inputs.workflowId}`);
    // Assume some API call or internal process
    const result = await simulateWorkflowManagement(ctx.inputs.workflowId);
    ctx.outputs.status = result.status;
  });

async function simulateWorkflowManagement(workflowId: string): Promise<{
  status: string }> {
  // This is a placeholder for actual workflow management logic
  console.log(`Simulating management for ${workflowId}`);
  return { status: "processed" };
}

This manageWorkflow Agent, defined on the .do platform, takes a workflowId as input and returns a status. Using api.mw, this Agent can be exposed as a simple API endpoint that accepts workflowId in the request body and returns the status in the response.

Benefits of Using api.mw Powered by .do

• Speed and Agility: Quickly turn new business processes into APIs without lengthy development cycles.
• Centralized Management: Manage all your workflow APIs from a single platform (.do).
• Scalability: Leverage the distributed nature of .do to scale your workflow APIs as demand grows.
• Monitoring and Analytics: Gain insights into API usage and workflow execution performance directly within the .do platform.
• Reduced Complexity: Abstract away the complexities of API development and infrastructure management.

What Types of Workflows Can Become APIs?

Virtually any internal process or business logic can be exposed as an API using api.mw and .do, including:

• Data Retrieval and Transformation: Expose APIs to fetch and format data from internal databases or systems.
• Business Process Automation: Trigger and monitor automated workflows like order processing, onboarding, or report generation.
• Integration Hubs: Create APIs that orchestrate interactions between multiple internal and external services.
• Custom Logic Execution: Wrap any piece of custom business logic into a reusable API endpoint.
