There are many other projects like this, too. I have a list at https://github.com/dbohdan/automatic-api/ https://github.com/dbohdan/automatic-api/.
Added: This type of software lacks a standard name and an established "format" (like HTTP servers or word processors have a "format"), so it is hard to discover other projects even when you are aware of a few. I've taken to calling them "automatic API servers" and promoted the term a bit. Some projects have adopted the GitHub topic "automatic-api" (https://github.com/topics/automatic-api https://github.com/topics/automatic-api) as a result. My hope is that a name and a search tag will help with discovery and make it more of a distinct type of product.
- mooreds 7y agoThanks for that list. There is so much data locked up in databases that could benefit from being turned into an API. To say nothing of CSVs and PDFs.
