Hey everyone,
I’ve been hacking on something called FlowAPI — it automatically turns a CSV or Excel file into a REST API with CRUD routes, OpenAPI docs, Supabase auth (JWT), and basic rate limiting.
I built it to avoid spending hours wiring up boilerplate every time I need an API for internal data.
Curious how others handle quick API generation from datasets — do you usually script it, use Airtable, or something else?
(If it’s okay per sub rules, I can drop a demo link in the comments.)
Hey!
I've been working on FlowAPI - a tool that transforms spreadsheets into production-ready REST APIs instantly.
The Problem:
I was tired of manually building CRUD APIs for simple data. Every time I had a CSV or Excel file, I'd spend hours setting up endpoints, validation, documentation, and auth. There had to be a better way.
The Solution:
Upload your CSV/Excel → Auto-generated REST API with full CRUD operations
What you get:
Instant API generation with all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
Auto-generated Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
Built-in authentication (Supabase + JWT)
Type validation with Pydantic
Real-time analytics dashboard
Visual flow charts of your API structure
Tech Stack:
FastAPI, Python, Supabase, Pydantic
Currently in public beta - would love your feedback!
