apitree
20% + cache margin

Option A: Upload Data (5 minutes)

Drag and drop a CSV, JSON, or Excel file. apitree automatically:

  • Parses your file and infers the schema
  • Scans for PII (personal information) and warns you
  • Generates a REST API with filtering, sorting, pagination, and search
  • Creates an MCP tool definition so AI Agents discover your data
  • Lists it on the apitree marketplace

Option B: DB Connector (real-time)

Install our lightweight agent on your server. Your data stays on your infrastructure — the agent only responds to queries in real-time.

npx @apitree/connector init

? Database type: PostgreSQL
? Connection string: postgres://...
? apitree API key: nxs_live_...

✓ Connected to database
✓ 12 tables detected
✓ 3 tables selected for API
✓ PII auto-excluded (phone, email columns)
✓ Registered on apitree marketplace

Agent running. Your data is now sellable.

Revenue model

Every time someone calls your API through apitree, you earn 80% of the revenue. Cache-miss calls generate provider revenue; cache hits are retained by apitree (no cost to you since no query is made).

Payouts are monthly. Minimum $100 threshold. Settlement dashboard shows real-time earnings.
