A Practical Guide to No-Code API Development
For users with limited technical expertise, we recommend the following approach to get started quickly:
- Templated developmentSelect preset workflows directly from the template library (such as WhatsApp bots, data collection forms, etc.), requiring only modification of key parameters.
- AI-assisted constructionUsing the Generate Node with AI feature, describe your requirements in natural language (e.g., ”Create an API to record user feedback”), and the system will automatically generate a complete node chain.
- Visual DebuggingUse the built-in debug tool to view the input and output of each node in real time, without needing to understand the code logic.
- Step-by-Step Learning Path::
- Start with single-function APIs (such as returning static JSON).
- Gradually add database query nodes
- Finally, introduce conditional statements and other logical control structures.
Key Tip: Start with over 200 ready-made examples from the Community Template Library—modifying and copying them is more efficient than building from scratch. The official Discord community offers real-time Q&A support.
