Makeswift

Makeswift is a composable visual page builder for marketing teams and developers, built for Next.js. It lets marketers visually design, edit, and publish modern web frontends while developers register their own React components and keep full control over hosting and code. Makeswift ships an official React runtime SDK (@makeswift/runtime), a CLI, and a REST API at api.makeswift.com for programmatically managing sites, pages, and locales, plus a hosted documentation MCP server for AI clients. Makeswift is backed by Techstars and partners closely with BigCommerce for composable commerce.

Makeswift publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: locale API, page API, and site API. Tagged areas include Company, Visual Page Builder, Website Builder, Next.js, and Headless CMS.

Makeswift’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, changelog, and 16 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/makeswift: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
