Stop Wasting Time Writing Code for APIs

Let’s be honest: API development shouldn’t be this painful. Yet, every developer knows the grind. You set up authentication, define endpoints, handle errors, write documentation, secure access, and manually integrate APIs with databases and external services. Oh, and don’t forget about versioning, testing, and debugging when something inevitably breaks. Why are we still doing this the hard way? Why Traditional API Development Is Slower Than It Should Be APIs power everything—from microservices to mobile apps—but building them is often a slow, repetitive process. Here’s why: Boilerplate code never stops. Every project requires authentication, logging, request validation, and error handling. It’s the same code, over and over. Manual integrations waste time. Connecting APIs to databases, third-party tools, or internal systems often involves tedious configuration. Security isn’t plug-and-play. Managing API keys, OAuth, and access control is essential but also a pain to implement consistently. Iterating is risky. Making changes means worrying about breaking clients, rewriting docs, and managing versioning. Most of this work isn’t difficult—it’s just time-consuming and unnecessary. What If APIs Were Easier to Build? That’s exactly why we built Martini—to automate the redundant parts of API development while giving developers full control where they need it. Instead of spending hours setting up endpoints, Martini lets you focus on building APIs that solve real problems. How? Auto-generate REST and GraphQL APIs without writing extra code. Pre-built authentication & security (OAuth, API keys, RBAC) baked in from the start. Drag-and-drop API design that eliminates repetitive setup while keeping custom coding options open.

It’s not about dumbing down API development—it’s about removing the busywork that slows developers down. APIs That Don’t Trap You in a Box One of the biggest frustrations with "low-code" tools is lack of flexibility. That’s not the case here. Martini lets you: Switch between REST, GraphQL, or other formats without rewriting everything. Extend APIs with custom code when needed—no black-box restrictions.

Let’s be honest: API development shouldn’t be this painful.

Yet, every developer knows the grind. You set up authentication, define endpoints, handle errors, write documentation, secure access, and manually integrate APIs with databases and external services. Oh, and don’t forget about versioning, testing, and debugging when something inevitably breaks.

Why are we still doing this the hard way?

Why Traditional API Development Is Slower Than It Should Be

APIs power everything—from microservices to mobile apps—but building them is often a slow, repetitive process. Here’s why:

Boilerplate code never stops. Every project requires authentication, logging, request validation, and error handling. It’s the same code, over and over.
Manual integrations waste time. Connecting APIs to databases, third-party tools, or internal systems often involves tedious configuration.
Security isn’t plug-and-play. Managing API keys, OAuth, and access control is essential but also a pain to implement consistently.
Iterating is risky. Making changes means worrying about breaking clients, rewriting docs, and managing versioning.

Most of this work isn’t difficult—it’s just time-consuming and unnecessary.

What If APIs Were Easier to Build?

That’s exactly why we built Martini—to automate the redundant parts of API development while giving developers full control where they need it. Instead of spending hours setting up endpoints, Martini lets you focus on building APIs that solve real problems.

How?

Auto-generate REST and GraphQL APIs without writing extra code.
Pre-built authentication & security (OAuth, API keys, RBAC) baked in from the start.
Drag-and-drop API design that eliminates repetitive setup while keeping custom coding options open.
Seamless integrations with databases, SaaS tools, and internal services.
One-click deployment so APIs go live instantly without infrastructure headaches.

It’s not about dumbing down API development—it’s about removing the busywork that slows developers down.
