Is your REST API nothing but raw JSON?
Let’s change this and develop a user-friendly web front end for your API with Five. Five lets you connect to almost any API and build a responsive web front end on top of it. Add forms, charts, reports, or dashboards to your API admin panel. Create user roles and manage access through Five’s built-in authentication.
Start with a fully-functional, ready-to-use database schema that you can easily customize to fit your needs. Whether you’re adding new tables, modifying fields, or adjusting relationships, Five allows you to tailor your database exactly to your requirements.
Five’s templates offer a pre-built user interface that’s ready to deploy but fully customizable to match your brand and workflow. Modify layouts, themes, and components to create a user experience that aligns with your business.
Implement user management with customizable user roles. Define and adjust access levels, permissions, and responsibilities, ensuring that your application meets the security needs of your organization.
Five is a low-code development environment that helps software developers build and deploy custom online database applications faster. Developers can rapidly build release-ready software by using Five’s prebuilt features, such as a hosted SQL database, authentication, or access control. And they can add full code to their application almost anywhere.
Five is mainly used by software developers, data analysts, database administrators, and more to build a wide variety of custom business applications.
Follow this tutorial to build an API front end in Five.
You can connect Five to a wide range of APIs using our connection wizard feature. You can also connect to any REST API and make it available as a data source. Once complete, you can write queries to interact with the API.
Build applications on multiple data sources. Five can directly connect to any external, relational database (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, SQLite), or RESTful API endpoint to send, transform, or extract data.
Create custom business logic to automate tasks, streamline data entry, or create workflows. Write JavaScript and TypeScript functions to extend your application beyond Five’s built-in features.
Five is the fastest way to go from REST API to web application. Five auto-generates a responsive user interface with forms, charts, dashboards, and reports. No front-end skills required.
A REST API, or Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface, is a standardized way for software applications to communicate with each other over the internet. It allows systems to request and exchange data in a stateless, efficient, and flexible manner. REST APIs use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and follow specific conventions for data representation, enabling seamless interactions between different software components and services.
From project management tools, progress tracking apps, customer portals, and performance dashboards to functional CRUD apps, Five helps you build and deploy bespoke business software faster.
