Alright, this one isn’t for everyone… but for those who need it, it’s chef’s kiss perfection. 😘
Feeds API is the latest add-on for my Feeds stack, and it does something pretty awesome: it lets you turn all your existing Feeds data sources (database, RSS, CSV, JSON, etc.) into a fully functional JSON API. Yep, you can now generate your own API with sorting and filtering baked right in!
🔑 But wait, there’s more! Feeds API also comes with built-in API key management, so you can control who gets access to your data. No random bots sneaking in—unless you want them to.
So, if you (or your clients) need a clean and powerful way to create APIs from your data sources, this is the tool for you.
Let me know what you think! Who’s ready to turn their Feeds into an API powerhouse? ⚡
Feeds API looks like an incredible addition to your ecosystem. While I’ll need a bit of time to fully explore all the possibilities, it really feels like we’re stepping into a more advanced way of building websites, especially those that rely on live, dynamic data.
I watched the video with the examples, very helpful! I’m also an Activepieces user, so I can already see some interesting potential for integrating Feeds API into workflows that automate data handling. But since you have such a strong understanding of how your stacks are being used in the wild, perhaps you have a few more ideas or use cases that would really resonate with us regular Stacks users. That kind of insight would be incredibly valuable.
I will probably do a longer live stream on this eventually. What spurred the idea was the live stream that I did, which tied into a public API for getting postal codes for the UK. We then integrated that with my Pi stack. After doing that, it got me thinking about how we could do this if we didn’t luckily find a free public API for that. So I thought that this would be a nice way for people to manage their own data and get a programmatic interface to it.
There really is an infinite number of things that you could use this for. I know that one user that has a law firm that he manages a website for. They wanted an API that would allow their customers to access some of their data. I am not sure what, though.
