Project mention: LlamaAcademy: Teach GPTs to understand API documentation with LoRA | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-04-19
I played with building out a graphql mesh [0] of a few different APIs as I was curious to see if I could build one schema (and subsets of it) and have GPT interface over that. Turns out, it did a pretty good job if you can provide it the right portions of the schema it needs.
It also helped out when I was struggling to reconcile with how large of JSON payloads I was getting. The REST endpoints are just killing the prompt size, but having the model choose the fields it needed from GraphQL really helped out there.
Put it down for a while until I can get access to the plugin fine-tuned version of chatgpt and see if there's still a need or if it is additive still.

RESTool
RESTool is an open source UI tool for managing RESTful APIs. It could save you time developing your own internal tools. A live example:
RESTool [OSS] - "RESTool will help you to develop a tool for managing these entities in no time by simply editing a configuration file. No JavaScript. No CSS. No html. Just a single JSON file." This is sort of what I was envisioning. Config things such as the end point and the output template and it does the rest.

Many developers know just how powerful Node.js can be for building applications. And, many developers are keen on using open-source APIs for their applications. So, what if a lightweight, open-source option to find the latitude and longitude of an address in just a few lines of code using Node.js exists? Well, it does! In fact, both ways are possible (coordinates to address/location and address/location to coordinates). Let’s dive into it!
