API-first visual database with real-time collaboration and spreadsheet UI
APITable combines the familiarity of spreadsheets with the power of a visual database, offering real-time collaboration, full REST API access, and unlimited cross-table linking.
APITable is a visual database platform that bridges the gap between spreadsheets and databases, delivering an API-first architecture with real-time collaboration capabilities. Built on modern technology stacks including TypeScript (NextJS + NestJS) and Java (Spring Boot), it supports 100k+ rows with simultaneous multi-user editing powered by Operational Transformation algorithms.
The platform offers seven view types—Grid, Gallery, Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Mindmap, and more—alongside granular row and column permissions, automated workflows, and an extensible widget system with 20+ official widgets. Teams can create unlimited workspaces, link tables bidirectionally, generate forms automatically, and embed datasheets into external applications. Enterprise deployments benefit from SAML SSO, audit logging, automated backups, and team management features.
APITable serves teams seeking flexible project management, CRM systems, marketing automation, or custom business intelligence dashboards. Developers appreciate the full-stack API access and SQL-like Datasheet Query Language (DQL), while non-technical users leverage the no-code interface and 10+ built-in templates. Self-hosted deployment via Docker ensures data sovereignty, and integrations with n8n, Zapier, and Appsmith extend automation possibilities.
When teams consider AITable.ai, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
API-Driven CRM Integration
Sales teams manage leads in a visual interface while external applications sync data via REST APIs, eliminating manual data entry and enabling real-time pipeline visibility across tools.
Cross-Functional Project Tracking
Marketing, engineering, and operations collaborate in shared workspaces with Gantt and Kanban views, using row-level permissions to control sensitive budget or timeline data.
Embedded Customer Portal
SaaS platforms embed APITable datasheets into user dashboards, allowing clients to view and update records without leaving the application, powered by shareable HTML scripts.
No-Code Business Intelligence
Analysts build custom BI dashboards using 20+ widgets and automated data refreshes, connecting unlimited tables to visualize KPIs without writing SQL queries.
APITable offers Docker Compose installation for self-hosted environments, one-click deployment via Dome, Gitpod online demos, and a cloud-hosted version at aitable.ai. Minimum requirements are 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM.
Multiple users can edit simultaneously using Operational Transformation (OT) algorithms, supporting 100k+ rows with conflict-free synchronization across Grid, Kanban, Gantt, and other view types.
Yes. APITable provides full REST API access with an auto-generated API panel, plus a SQL-like Datasheet Query Language (DQL) for querying database-spreadsheet contents and metadata.
APITable supports row and column-level permissions, folder/file access controls, team management structures, and enterprise features like SAML SSO, audit logs, and watermarking for sensitive data.
The Docker Compose deployment supports enterprise workloads with features like automated backups, SSO, and audit trails. However, the all-in-one pm2 image is intended only for demos and testing, not production.
