Just launched! Csv to api in seconds

Hey IH —

I just launched CSV-API (csv-api.com) and wanted to share it here first.

The problem I kept running into: I'd have a CSV — reference data, a client dataset, something for a prototype — and I needed to query it from an app. Every time I ended up writing the same throwaway Flask or Rails API, deploying it somewhere, and quietly maintaining it forever. Or just emailing the file around. Neither felt right.

So I built the tool I kept wishing existed.

Upload a CSV or Excel file, and you get a live REST API in under a minute. No backend, no deployment. Type inference runs automatically so your filters actually work. Every dataset gets interactive Swagger docs. There's a natural language query parameter if you'd rather write plain English than filter syntax.

It's free to start — 3 datasets, 500 rows, no credit card. Paid plans from $9/mo.

I'm a solo developer and this is a real product. I'd love two things from this community:

1. Try it on a dataset you actually have and tell me where it breaks or falls short

2. If the landing page isn't clicking, I want to know why

Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what's coming next.
