What is sandman2?
sandman2 is a Python tool that automatically generates a RESTful API service from an existing database without requiring any code to be written. It connects to databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite, introspects the schema, and instantly provides a fully functional API with hypermedia support. It solves the problem of accessing legacy or proprietary databases through cumbersome interfaces by offering a standardized REST API.
Developers and data engineers who need to quickly expose database content as REST APIs, especially for legacy systems, internal tools, or prototyping. It's also useful for organizations wanting to provide programmatic access to databases without developing custom backend code.
Developers choose sandman2 because it eliminates the need for boilerplate ORM and API code, saving significant development time. Its zero-configuration approach, broad database support, and built-in admin interface make it a unique, low-effort solution for instant API generation.
