Buyer request
Tell the market what data you need.
Requests are public by default on the board, but buyer identity remains confidential unless you choose to reveal it later. Give suppliers enough detail to know whether they should build, apply, or match.
Form
Open a marketplace request
Describe the operating use case, desired cadence, and budget range. LumenAPI will expose the request publicly without naming the buyer.
- What becomes public
- Title, category, use case, budget range, cadence, urgency, agent-use flag, and supplier interest count.
- What stays private
- Buyer identity stays confidential by default until you choose to engage with a supplier.
- Why this matters
- Suppliers can see actual demand before listing, which reduces speculative integrations and improves marketplace fit.
- Post-submission flow
- Requests can be moderated, matched to existing listings, or used to guide supplier outreach and onboarding.
