BlueLink ERP scores D+ on the API Report Card. A Web Services API exists for reaching the Blue Link Server database from ecommerce and custom front ends, but its docs sit behind a credential-protected help portal. There is no OpenAPI spec, public sandbox, or documented OAuth; on-prem customers often query SQL Server directly.

No public OpenAPI/Swagger specification or developer portal, integrators rely on PDF references and direct contact with Blue Link's support team. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial BlueLink ERP API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write BlueLink ERP data. See the BlueLink ERP integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/bluelink-erp-api.
