We can handle 2FA during login. Regarding refreshing auth, it depends on the platform. We can help remain logged in nearly indefinitely on some platforms, while others would require users to re-login periodically.

Thank you!

Makes us really happy to hear this!

This is certainly an important question. We use a third-party vault to store tokens/keys.

Thank you!

We should definitely further clarify this! We built Integuru as an internal tool while building the products for Taiki. Then we realized that other developers may need the agent, too, so we decided to open-source Integuru. In terms of the current focus for our team, we are spending most of our time on Integuru because newly requested integrations take some of our resources to build, and we want to continue improving the agent. I think the correct way to frame this is a market expansion, where we're expanding beyond the tax industry.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Would love your feedback after you use it!

Thank you!

Thank you! There are definitely platforms that intentionally gate-keep their APIs. A good example is LinkedIn, which many companies still try to force-build their own integrations with. Our goal is to allow each developer to make their own informed decision regarding the policies of the platforms that they're working with. For our hosted service, we want to prioritize use cases where the end-user truly owns the data. We can also refer to legal precedent cases where many other companies make unofficial APIs.

We are working on a way to auto-patch internal APIs that change by having another agent trigger the requests.

Regarding the legality aspects — really appreciate you mentioning this — we’ve put a lot of thought into these issues, and it’s something we’re continually working on and refining.

Ultimately, our goal is to allow each developer to make their own informed decision regarding the policies of the platforms that they're working with. There are situations where unofficial APIs can be both legal and beneficial, such as when they're used to access data that the end user rightfully owns and controls.

For our hosted service, we aim to balance serving legitimate data needs with safeguarding against bad actors, and we’re fully aware this can be a tricky line to navigate. What this looks like in reality would be to prioritize use cases where the end-user truly owns the data. But we know this is not always black-and-white, and will come up with the right legal language as you recommended. What does help our case is that many companies are making unofficial APIs for their own purposes, so there are legal precedents that we can refer to.

Always amazing to read about surprising positive impacts that a project can make in someone's life like this.

VCs are still rational beings. They don't fund something just because someone is emotionally attached to the idea. If you get a huge number of people emotionally attached... then that's a different story.
