I currently have an API that is gaining traction. I would like to market towards people that are able to use APIs, however there is a technical barrier when It comes to requesting an endpoint, saving data, building a script around that, etc.

Should I build a web application that allows non-technical users to access the data from the API? Or, Is that a waste of time for the effort put in?

    Dunno what the API is like, but if you document it, generate an openapi yaml and provide an interface based upon that (your app framework probably supports it), it’ll be easier for people to test with an API key or on a demo instance with a public API key.

    Also you van build integrations for actual no code platforms like N8N or zapier. They might even be able to generate an integration for you from an OpenAPI spec.
