All systems answeringRestAPI.com · the platform underneath
Everything you ship stands on this.
Model your data once and documented REST endpoints exist the moment you save — with logins, permissions and server-side logic already part of the structure rather than bolted on months later. It is the floor Softeria Studio builds on, available on its own.

What it holds up
Nobody photographs the seabed. Everything on the surface is standing on it anyway.
Databases, endpoints, permissions, logins, hosting, backups. Months of work no customer will ever compliment you on, and the first thing that sinks a product when it is done badly. RestAPI.com is that entire layer, run as a managed platform, with the parts you would otherwise write by hand simply already there.
What you never write again
- Controllers, route files and request plumbingGone
- API documentation that has to be kept in step by handGone
- A user table, a password reset and a session storeGone
- Migration scripts run by hand on a Friday afternoonGone
- A second service just to reach the system you already runGone
Table in, API out
Save the table. The API already exists.
Nothing to generate, nothing to deploy, nothing to keep in sync. This is the whole exchange.
Live schemaCollection · bookings
What you define
bookings
- customerrelation → customers
- kayakrelation → kayaks
- startsAtdatetime
- hoursinteger
- statusstringheld · paid · out · returned
- totalNokdecimal
And these arrive on every recordid · created · createdBy · modified · modifiedBySet by the platform, never by you.
What you get, immediately
- GET/api/bookings
- GET/api/bookings/{id}
- POST/api/bookings
- PATCH/api/bookings/{id}
- DELETE/api/bookings/{id}
- GET/api/_openapi
GET /api/bookings?filter=status eq 'paid'&sortBy=startsAt-&pageSize=50
And the rules on top of it
- staff may read every booking at their own location
- a customer may only ever read their own bookings
- nobody outside the tenant sees a single row
Filtering, sorting, searching, paging and field selection are query parameters, not endpoints somebody has to write. The OpenAPI document is generated from the same definition, so your frontend can be typed against the API rather than hoping it matches.
Typed, not guessed
Generate TypeScript types straight from the live API, so a renamed field becomes a build error in your editor instead of a bug your customer finds.
Documented on the way out
Every collection publishes an OpenAPI description automatically. The documentation cannot fall behind the implementation, because it is generated from it.
Safe to change
Schema changes that would break existing data or existing callers are flagged before they run, rather than discovered afterwards in production.
Row-level security
The rules travel with the data, not with the screen.
Who may see which records is declared once, on the data itself, and every request is filtered by that rule — your app, a colleague’s script, a partner’s integration, a report that runs at midnight. A check somebody can forget to write on one screen was never really a permission.

Specification
Everything else that has to exist anyway.
The list every backend ends up needing in its second month. Here it is on the first day.
01
REST delivery
Define your data once and stable, documented endpoints exist immediately. No controllers, no route files, and no documentation drifting away from what the server actually does.
02
Database design
Model collections, fields and relationships visually. Evolve the schema as the product changes, with breaking changes flagged before they ever reach live data.
03
Logins and roles
Users, roles and per-method access rules are part of the platform. Decide who may read, who may write, and who may never see an endpoint at all.
04
Row-level security
Declare once who may see which records — by owner, by team, by customer — and every query is filtered by that rule, wherever the query came from.
05
Server-side functions
Business logic, validation, scheduled jobs and integrations run on the platform in JavaScript or TypeScript, next to the data rather than a network away from it.
06
Views and tailored access
Give a team, a partner or a public page exactly the slice of data it needs, without denormalising your core model to make it convenient.
07
External data access
Connect the systems you already run and reach them through the same API surface, so an integration stops being another service for somebody to operate.
08
Hosted applications
Ship the web app and the API together on managed hosting, with production defaults, deployment and backups handled for you.
The return trip
Every dive is planned around coming back up.
Your data and your database structure export in full, whenever you ask. The API is ordinary REST over HTTP, described in a standard document any tool can read. Staying with us is a decision you get to keep making.
