CPQ SDK
Build CPQ integrations faster with Mercura's official SDK. Typed API clients, built-in error handling, and comprehensive documentation let your team go from API key to working integration in hours.
4 languages
Python, JavaScript, Java, .NET

From API key to working integration
Full coverage
Every API endpoint in the SDK
The Challenge
CPQ Integration Projects Take Too Long and Cost Too Much
CPQ integration projects routinely overrun time and budget estimates. Teams building on raw REST APIs must write boilerplate authentication code, handle pagination, implement error retry logic, and parse undocumented response formats — work that has nothing to do with the business logic they are trying to build.
Without typed API clients, integration code is difficult to write correctly and harder to maintain. Type errors surface at runtime rather than compile time, and refactoring requires manually checking API documentation rather than relying on IDE tooling.
Each developer on a team working with the same CPQ API often re-implements the same utility functions independently — wasting effort and creating inconsistent code quality across the integration codebase.
The cumulative result is that CPQ integrations that should take weeks take months, and code quality is lower than it would be with properly designed SDK tooling.
How It Works
How the Mercura CPQ SDK Works
The Mercura SDK provides language-native API clients for Python, JavaScript, Java, and .NET. Each client is generated directly from the OpenAPI specification and kept in sync with API releases, ensuring that SDK methods always reflect the current API surface. Clients handle authentication, token refresh, request serialisation, response deserialisation, and error classification automatically. Helper utilities for common patterns — paginating through quote lists, streaming large configuration catalogs, handling webhook events — are included as high-level abstractions. Comprehensive code examples covering common integration scenarios are included in the SDK documentation.
What's Included
Key Capabilities
- Typed API clients for Python, JavaScript (TypeScript), Java, and .NET
- Automatic authentication and token refresh handling
- Built-in pagination helpers for list endpoints
- Structured error types with actionable error messages
- Webhook event parsing utilities with type-safe event objects
- Retry logic with exponential backoff for transient errors
- Comprehensive code examples for common integration patterns
- SDK versioning aligned with API versioning — breaking changes managed together
The Difference
Before and After the Mercura CPQ SDK
- Developers write boilerplate auth, error handling, and pagination from scratch
- Type errors surface at runtime — not caught during development
- Each developer re-implements common utilities independently
- Integration projects take months and produce inconsistent code quality
- Maintenance burden grows as raw API usage accumulates technical debt
- Authentication, pagination, and error handling handled by the SDK
- Full type safety — errors caught at compile time in IDEs
- Shared utility abstractions used consistently across the integration codebase
- Integration projects complete in weeks with clean, maintainable code
- SDK updates keep integration code current with API changes
Real-World Application
Example Use Case: OEM Manufacturer with Internal Development Team
An OEM manufacturer tasked their internal IT team with integrating Mercura CPQ into their existing Azure-based data platform and a custom quoting portal built in TypeScript. Using the Mercura JavaScript SDK, the team had authentication and their first successful API calls working on day one. The TypeScript client provided full type coverage for all CPQ objects, enabling the team to build the integration using their standard IDE tooling without manually consulting API documentation for every field. The integration from first API call to production deployment took 11 working days — well under the 6-week estimate that had been generated based on previous raw API integration experience.
Quote turnaround dropped from 3 days to under 4 hours.
Business Impact
Why a CPQ SDK Matters
A well-designed SDK removes the friction between a CPQ platform's capability and a developer team's ability to use it. It translates API documentation into language-native patterns that developers already understand, catches errors earlier in the development cycle, and reduces the volume of boilerplate that integration projects require. For organisations where developer time is a constrained resource, a good SDK is not a convenience — it is a meaningful multiplier on integration velocity.
