This topic explains how to build a LaunchDarkly integration as part of our partner program. You can join our Technology Partner Program to make your integrations publicly available.
Our Technology Partner Program empowers technology partners to build, launch, and go-to-market with LaunchDarkly. Benefits include partnership support, early product access, and joint marketing opportunities, among others.
To get started, visit our Partners page.
We list partner integrations in the following locations:
You can also list your integration on your own websites and platforms.
After you have completed the partner agreement, you can begin planning your integration.
As you plan, you may want to consider the following questions:
Next, decide how to connect your integration to LaunchDarkly. You can allow members to authenticate using an OAuth application or using API access tokens.
LaunchDarkly must verify OAuth applications before customers can use them. OAuth also lets you limit the connection of your integrated app to individual members. To learn how, read OAuth applications.
We provide two types of API access tokens:
If you use API access tokens for authentication, we recommend using roles to limit the amount of access to LaunchDarkly those tokens have. If you don’t use roles to limit API token access, your members will be able to edit everything in your LaunchDarkly account, which can be a security risk.
As a best practice, we recommend giving your tokens the smallest scope required for your integration. For example, if your integration is not designed to modify your Production environment, use a role or inline policy to restrict access appropriately.
To learn how to use roles to limit access for an API tokens, read Scope personal API access tokens.
We also recommend storing your API access tokens securely.
If your integration is only interacting with LaunchDarkly resources, you may be able to build it entirely using the REST API. If you require a more complex integration, such as one with triggers or flag links, use the integration framework.
We require an integration framework update for any published integration. LaunchDarkly uses the manifest.json and associated image resources to surface your integration to end users.
LaunchDarkly is built using an open REST API. Your integration can interact with LaunchDarkly in many of the same ways that you can through the user interface (UI). To learn how, read our API documentation.
LaunchDarkly’s integration framework lets you build deeper integrations between LaunchDarkly and a third-party service.
A number of capabilities exist to provide integrations in both directions, such as sending partner-defined webhooks to third-party services or surfacing external feature flag-related links in the LaunchDarkly UI.
These capabilities are further outlined in the section below.
Your integration’s capabilities are how it interacts with LaunchDarkly.
