BaseQL

BaseQL is a tool that creates a live GraphQL API from your existing Airtable bases or Google Sheets. Instead of writing backend code to connect your frontend to a database, you point BaseQL at your spreadsheet. It reads your sheet's structure and instantly gives you a GraphQL endpoint to query, search, and even update your data. This means you can build websites, apps, or internal tools that pull live data directly from the spreadsheets you already use.

It works by automatically generating a GraphQL schema that matches your tables and columns. When you add a new column in Airtable, it appears in the API immediately. You can use GraphQL's powerful features to filter records, sort results, and paginate data, fetching only what you need. BaseQL also provides a way to secure your API with a secret token and integrates directly with popular tools like Webflow, Bubble, Retool, and Zapier, as well as frameworks like Next.js, React, and Vue.

This tool is ideal for developers who want to prototype quickly or build simple applications without managing a database server. It's also a great fit for no-code enthusiasts using platforms like Bubble or Webflow, who need a more flexible way to connect their UIs to structured data. Whether you're building a product catalog, a member directory, or a dashboard, BaseQL turns your familiar spreadsheet into a capable application backend.
