What is Deck?
Deck is a foundational infrastructure layer designed to facilitate secure and efficient access to user-permissioned data. It serves as a universal connector, allowing platforms across diverse industries—including utilities, telecom, ERP, and e-commerce—to tap into data that users have granted permission for. Deck aims to abstract the complexities of interacting with credential-based websites and disparate data sources, providing clean APIs and structured data. It is built for developers seeking to accelerate integration development without custom solutions, and for product leaders and CEOs looking to unlock new capabilities, reduce maintenance costs, and create defensible value by leveraging existing user data.
How to use Deck
Users, primarily developers and businesses, interact with Deck by integrating its APIs into their platforms. They can start by exploring Deck's extensive network of over 100,000 providers across 40+ countries to see if a desired data source is already supported. If a specific provider is not yet integrated, users can submit a request to add it to the Deck network, with updates going live frequently. The platform offers a "Studio" for building and getting started, implying a developer-centric interface. While specific pricing models are not detailed, it is positioned as a B2B solution, suggesting a sales-led engagement or subscription model for enterprise use.
