Done - Data access for anyone

Access the data from your local network, using any Windows, Mac, Linux or Mobile device.

Features that add value

Access data as files

API data is presented as files on your network. Get up-to-date data straight from File Explorer.

Legacy app compatible

Any application that can import data from a file can use Api2File to provide API data. Non-API compatible applications can now easily source data from APIs.

No installation required

Every PC already has everything it needs to access data using Api2File . No additional software rollout to user PCs needed.

No-code

Enable access to APIs without writing a line of code. Api2File uses a simple, intuitive configuration file where all aspects of access to the APIs are maintained.

Privacy as standard

Api2File is run on your computers, inside your network, and only accesses data when it is requested to do so. If your API is local, Api2File will never access the internet.

User account mapping

Network users are automatically mapped to API compatible security credentials by Api2File , meaning no additional user management for system administrators.

Pricing that is good for business

Yearly, unlimited-usage licenses that cost a fraction of the equivalent development costs.
Discounted volume pricing that applies to all licenses in an order.
Not subscription based - nothing to cancel, No unexpected bills.

How Api2File works

Basics

Api2File communicates with configured web APIs, then using the information retrieved, builds a virtual directory structure that is serves to networked computers via network shares. Each individual data record available from the API is listed as a separate file on the network share, with each file given a name to make choosing the right file to open easy.

Security

Api2File can authenticate with web APIs using configured credentials. This allows use of APIs that are secured using basic, API-key, digest/bearer and oauth2. Mapping network users to API credentials allows many users to utilise a single API credential. As users access data via network shares, API credentials are safely decoupled and hidden from end users.

Performance

Some APIs can be slow to respond or deliver very large result sets. Api2File utilises caching to get data quickly to users - often much faster than the API could deliver. Of course this caching can be turned off if data is extremely volatile.

Transformation

Data from APIs is often provided in json format. Api2File can convert any text data format (like json) into any shape of data required. Defining how the data must be transformed is done via the simple configuration file.
