About:
ROAPI is a tool that serves REST and GraphQL APIs for static datasets without requiring backend development. It automatically generates API endpoints from files like Parquet, CSV, or JSON, handling schema inference and query processing. This allows users to quickly expose data for analysis or integration using standard HTTP requests.
Key Features:
  • Supports Parquet, CSV, JSON, and Arrow files
  • Automatic schema inference and API generation
  • Serves both REST and GraphQL endpoints
  • Zero-code backend setup required
  • SQL query support via HTTP
Use Cases:
  • Creating instant APIs for data science projects
  • Serving static datasets for frontend applications
  • Quick prototyping of data backends
  • Exposing local data files to remote clients
Alternatives:
  • PostgREST – Requires a PostgreSQL database, while ROAPI works directly with files
  • Hasura – Cloud-based with complex setup, while ROAPI is a lightweight CLI tool
