Profound API — API Development

Create and deploy APIs in days, not months, on IBM i

API creation is often confusing, time-consuming, and overwhelming—because so many IT leaders still believe complex problems require complex solutions. The reality is APIs can be surprisingly simple. There is a better way, and it is paved in fully transparent, highly automated, highly scalable low code.

Many API solutions promised ease—then profited by making it hard

User-based pricing, high customization fees, and large maintenance agreements turned a simple goal into an expensive, drawn-out project. Profound API simplifies IBM i API development for rapid results, so your team spends time delivering value instead of fighting tooling.

What You Get

Everything you need to build, document, and manage APIs

Create & organize with ease

Create, organize, and expose APIs with ease—and save API templates so you can build new APIs even more quickly.

Effortless documentation

Easily document your APIs to help with both consuming them and maintaining them over time.

Built-in analytics dashboard

Review analytical statistics about all APIs across a system through a dashboard with charts and summaries.

Integrate with anything

Seamlessly integrate with anything on or off IBM i, connecting your business data wherever it needs to go.

The Process

From database to working API in three steps

  1. Install Profound API

    Get up and running fast with a lightweight install—no sprawling configuration or specialized setup required.

  2. Connect to your database

    Point Profound API at your IBM i data so it can read your structures and generate against them.

  3. Select parameters and create

    Choose your parameters, click “Create API,” and your API is ready for use—no hand-written code needed.

Outcomes

Functional APIs without writing code

  • Low-code capabilities let developers create fully functional APIs without writing code
  • Once created, your API is immediately ready for use
  • A built-in API dashboard surfaces statistics, finds errors, and addresses performance issues in real time
  • Transparent, automated, and scalable—without per-user pricing or heavy maintenance agreements

“Thanks to Profound API, our applications are now incredibly seamless, flexible, and dynamic.”
— Trevor McCullough, Kamik
