What is #toAPI?
Here's what you can expect from the beta version:
Turn any CSV, JSON or Excel into a quick and easy to use API without any code.
But it's more than that! You can connect your Airtable directly or your Google sheets through Zapier for easy to use data stores.
Create endpoints in seconds. Add query validations, customise the output, filtering and much more.
You can publish your API and expose Swagger docs, generated for you automatically.
Monetize your API by restricting through API keys.
hey this sounds cool! how would this compare with say flatfile or csvbox.io?
@samkaizen though they both have some aspect of an API, it's not their primary focus.
Flatfile has an API that you can use to read the feed. And csvbox.io has an API that you can use to add new data into it.
What I'm building is the ability to spin up a fully fledged API within seconds. Including the ability to use API keys for authentication, and later on, the ability to add multiple auth methods such as Oauth.
I wanted this to be a nodecode solution for building APIs. Think someone doing a frontend tutorial and needs some data. They can spin up one of these with ease for others to follow through.
Another use case is university students that want to focus on "building" the frontend, where they may not have a backend.
And finally, one of the reasons I built this in the first place, is people/companies that have data they'd like to share/sell through an API. This will come with the V2 release, allowing you to monetise your API on the platform.
