Anyone know any tools for quickly creating interfaces for APIs? Like if I have a list of posts, I want to display them as a list with title and content.

html?

just google JSON to HTML table.
Something bound to show up.

Otherwise I'm lost as to what you want?

@stop @C0D4 I was thinking some application that would allow me, or anyone without much coding experience, to build an interface for data. Like displaying a list with images, or an individual item. I know it's kind of niche, but I though someone might know of something.

@ScriptCoded html with javascript and REST with json is the simplest i know.

@stop Though I want someone with limited or no coding experience to be able to do it. A visual editor of some sort.

Take a look at KnockoutJS, it's pretty simple to bind JS variables to HTML elements and have them repeat their contents for each element in an array, for example.

EDIT: Just saw your latest comment. KnockoutJS is not a visual editor, so maybe it's not what you want.

@ScriptCoded I haven't come across something that could handle it as a visual representation.

JSON is pretty straight forward to understand by its self if prettified otherwise due to the complexity api responses could be (multiple layers / dimensions) iteration to a standard view is usually something you write yourself or pull out the data you need and output as necessary.

Did some googling and this could work as a quick hack - just copy your response and it'll will create a table for you

@C0D4 I was thinking that a colleague would be using it, so as simple as possible is good. That transformer looks like a step in the right direction. I'm thinking perhaps excel could do it?

@ScriptCoded aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaah

What about http://json2table.com/ or https://jsongrid.com/json-grid?

@cmarshall10450 Yeah that's kind of what @C0D4 suggested. Thanks

@ScriptCoded yeah. Just some alternatives. I don't think there's anything else that will handle general json structures as the response from an api is up to the api designer. I don't know of anyway for excel to handle json input.

@cmarshall10450 There are ways, buuuut annoying as hell

Postman might be ideal, depending on your situation.

@zpeters Not at all, actually :)

Do you want to perform a conversion operation? If yes try this

@kateliuyi talk about digging up the graveyard 😅

@ScriptCoded not sure if your email given up on this...

But n8n could probably solve this for a no-code approach and spit the json into google sheets or something:

@kateliuyi Oh hi there 😅 Not quite what I'm after. But, thanks?

@C0D4 I ended up building a quick HTML interface instead. But n8n seems like something that might be useful in the future. Ty!
