PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is a powerful, open-source object-relational database system with over 35 years of active development. It provides advanced SQL compliance, ACID transactions, and extensibility. PostgreSQL exposes a binary wire protocol via libpq and language bindings rather than a public HTTP REST API, so there is no canonical OpenAPI specification. HTTP access is typically layered on top via PostgREST, Hasura, or application code.

PostgreSQL publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Database, Open-Source, Relational Database, and SQL.

PostgreSQL’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 4 more developer resources.
