API Maker v4.3.0

HTTPS built in. AI that watches your APIs. A guided tour to your first API.

Features¶

Built-in web server. API Maker serves HTTPS on its own, with free certificates that renew themselves, so you no longer need Caddy or Nginx. Built-in web server →
Health Check AI Reporting. AI reads your Analytics on a schedule and mails you what is wrong and how to fix it. Health Check AI Reporting →
Guided tour. A step-by-step tour on the real pages takes you to your first working API. The guided tour →
Outgoing Email (SMTP). Mail servers have their own page, and every admin can add their own. Outgoing Email →
Analytics shows more. See all admins side by side, who is connected by WebSocket, and where each server's memory goes. Analytics →
Sample data in Launchpad. Fill a new database with a well-known sample, like Sakila or Northwind, and start playing right away. Add a database →

Restarts drop no requests. Restarting or deploying a new version no longer loses a single request.
Faster g.sys calls. getSecret is about 5 times faster, and encrypt, decrypt and hash are twice as fast.
New Swagger UI, valid OpenAPI. Swagger docs now use Swagger UI 5.34 and give valid OpenAPI 3.0. Swagger docs →
Faster databases on installer servers. MongoDB and Redis now talk to API Maker straight, without Docker in between.
Lighter databases in Launchpad. Launchpad stopped running health checks all the time, which saves a lot of CPU on small servers.
Better Launchpad terminal. Search the output, save quick commands and change the text size, and big output no longer freezes it.
Oracle just works in Launchpad. Launchpad installs the Oracle Instant Client for you.
Launchpad sees panel upgrades. Upgrade from the admin panel and Launchpad picks up the new version by itself.
Better docs. A short learning path, a one-page cheat sheet, and code shown in just your language. Docs for AI →

Oracle databases from Launchpad reach API Maker. In Local mode they showed success but never arrived, and now they do.
Re-created databases start. On Mac and Windows, a database removed and made again in the same place now starts.
Idle database connections close. They now close after 10 minutes instead of staying open until a restart.
Index Maker scripts work everywhere. With masked database names, scripts now run on every environment. Masked database names →
Right shortcut in the Run tooltip. Test Cases now shows ⌘E on Mac and Ctrl+E elsewhere.

Servers from v3 get their own MongoDB key. Each one gets a random key at its next restart from Launchpad, so restart them soon.
Swagger docs no longer talk to swagger.io. Your Swagger token is not sent out any more, but make a new one if you opened the docs from a public address. Swagger docs →
Stream answers hide their meta. Callers no longer see the call time and access groups, only the admin panel does.
