Instantly Generate and Manage APIs from Any Data Source with CData API Server

APIs are the backbone of modern data sharing, but let’s be honest—building and managing APIs can be a pain. Writing custom code, dealing with security, ensuring the right data formats, and keeping track of which APIs are live and who is actively using them can be complex after even a few APIs.

What if you could create and manage all the APIs you want to share for every different slice of data to different consumers?

Introducing CData API Server, a single platform to instantly generate APIs from any database or data store, configure security and data formats, and start sharing data immediately—without writing a single line of code.

Build APIs in minutes, not weeks

Whether you need to share live database data, expose business application data for developers, or power integrations with real-time APIs, API Server makes it easy:

• APIs from any source – Instantly create APIs from popular databases like SQL Server and MongoDB.
• No code, no hassle – Skip the tedious custom API development. Just connect your data, configure, and deploy.
• Any format you need – Publish APIs in OData, REST, JSON, CSV/TSV, and more.
• Deploy anywhere – Host on-premises, in the cloud, or as a standalone web app.
• Full control and security – Easily manage API access, update settings, and track usage from a single platform.

Customer success story: Carrington Mortgage Services enhances data access with CData API Server

Carrington Mortgage Services, a leading financial services company, faced challenges with sharing data via APIs for various external partners and internal consumers. Its IT team was struggling with version control issues, API fragility, and a need for real-time data synchronization. Creating the APIs was difficult and becoming expensive, then maintaining them was hard without a centralized system or understanding of who was still actively using which APIs.

By implementing CData API Server, Carrington’s IT team:

• Instantly created secure, managed APIs for their key data sources, reducing dependency on SSIS and manual API development.
• Gained real-time data access for reporting and analytics, improving operational efficiency.
• Reduced manual maintenance and API downtime, ensuring reliable integrations with internal and external systems.

The impact? Carrington achieved greater reliability, faster data sharing, and a significant reduction in development time—allowing their team to focus on optimizing business processes instead of constantly fixing broken integrations.

How it works

Creating an API with CData API Server is as easy as:

1. Pick your data source – Connect to databases, cloud storage, and more.
2. Configure your API – Choose the data you want to expose, select a format (REST, JSON, OData, etc.), and set security controls.
3. Deploy instantly – Your API is ready to use. Share with your team or external partners immediately. When you’re ready to stop sharing, take the API down with the click of a button.
