API-LibBackend, but with a builder UX
API-Lib · Backend-first developer platform

Build APIs like UI components. Visual. Typed. Production-ready.

API-Lib combines a backend framework, visual editor, own database, gateway and module marketplace – so you can ship production APIs without drowning in boilerplate.

Deploy a full backend in under 2 minutes.
Built for:
Next.js 16TypeScriptServerless
Connect API-Lib to your Next.js app
TypeScript SDK
Typed queries, built-in auth and routing – without writing a single Express route.
app/api/example/route.ts
ts
import { createClient } from "@apilib/client";

const api = createClient({
  projectId: process.env.APILIB_PROJECT_ID!,
  apiKey: process.env.APILIB_API_KEY!
});

const { data } = await api.query("projects.list", {
  limit: 10
});

// Strongly typed request & response – powered by API-Lib.
Visual API editor & flows
Drag-and-drop routes, validation, queues and integrations. No more hand-wiring every Express middleware.
Node-style flows, but with proper types & analytics.

Feels like frontend. Acts like a backend.

Use API-Lib from TypeScript, cURL or Node server code. One platform, many ways to call it.

Use API-Lib from a React app
ts
import { useQuery } from "@apilib/client/react";

export function Dashboard() {
  const { data, isLoading } = useQuery("projects.list", {
    limit: 10
  });

  if (isLoading) return <span>Loading...</span>;

  return (
    <ul>
      {data?.projects.map((project) => (
        <li key={project.id}>{project.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}

Pricing that scales with your stack.

Start on Personal, grow into Team, and move to Enterprise when you need custom infrastructure and SLAs.
