API Maker
The backend engine for the AI era
Team & delivery
A workspace for each developer on one server, and the tools around the APIs: Swagger, types, snippets, a debugger and code search.
The admin creates an account for each developer: its own login, API path, secrets and Git branch, and database name masking gives it its own copy of each database under the same name. Around the APIs, each API user gets Swagger docs, your schemas become TypeScript interfaces, the API testing page writes client code in 21 languages, and you can debug, search all your code, or edit it in your own editor.
Step through it, slow it down, or open the full canvas.
api-maker/features/developer-toolsLiveTry any API in the panel. Pick an API, get a sample payload, set the token of a test user and send it. Save the request as a state, it goes to Git with your code.
Pick an API, get a sample payload, set the token of a test user and send it. Save the request as a state, it goes to Git with your code.
Copy it for cURL, JavaScript, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, C#, PHP, Swift, Dart and more: 21 languages with their variants.
Turn on Swagger docs for an API user and share its URL: it lists only the APIs its groups allow. Turn them off and the URL stops answering.
db-interfaces has an interface for every table, grouped by instance and database. Your code imports them and the editor completes the fields.
Enable debugging and set a breakpoint in the code editor: the Debug tab of API Testing stops there, in your TypeScript, with the values of every variable.
Search every file of the account in the IDE of the panel, go to the definition of a name in any language, see who wrote each line in git, or sync the code with your own editor.
Click the margin of the code editor to set a breakpoint, send a request, and step through TypeScript, Python, PHP, C#, Go, Rust, Java or Kotlin right in the admin panel, into your utility classes too: the Debug tab of API Testing shows the variables, the call stack and the console.
Developers sign in with their own account and API path, with their own secrets and Git branch, and change APIs, schemas and settings without touching the work of others.
Developers can also sync one account together, each from their own editor with the local client and the same sync token: a save reaches the others within a second, each line of their terminals says who made the change, the admin panel shows who is connected, and the connection is encrypted without the token ever traveling.
Everyone writes the database main in code and requests. For priya it runs on main_priya, for omar on main_omar: nothing to rename before a pull request.
Each API user can have a Swagger URL with a random part, which lists the system, custom and database APIs that user can call.
Priya adds an orders API, Omar changes the product schema and Lin writes a migration, at the same time on the same server. Each works on their own branch and their own copy of the database, then opens a pull request as usual.
import * as T from 'types';import * as db from 'db-interfaces';async function main(g: T.IAMGlobal) { const products = await g.sys.db.getAll<db.shop.main.IProducts>({ instance: 'shop', database: 'main', collection: 'products', }); return products.map(p => p.name); // p is typed}module.exports = main;One namespace per instance and database, and an interface I + the table name in PascalCase: open Generated Interfaces to see yours.
On the real admin panel, with real data.

No. Developer accounts share one server, each working in its own space. API Maker Launchpad is there for those who want API Maker on their own computer.
