NocoDB

NocoDB is an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Airtable that turns any relational database — MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or SQLite — into a collaborative smart spreadsheet. It exposes a versioned REST API (v2 and v3) with separate Data APIs for record CRUD operations and Meta APIs for managing workspaces, bases, tables, fields, views, and attachments. Authentication is handled via API tokens or session auth tokens, with Swagger UI bundled into every instance for live exploration. NocoDB is available as a free community self-hosted deployment or as a managed cloud service with tiered plans ranging from Free to Enterprise.

NocoDB publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Attachments API, Auth API, Bases API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Database, No-Code, Low-Code, Airtable Alternative, and Open Source.

The NocoDB catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

NocoDB’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 17 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

10 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
