I'm going to add a link to the Datasette API docs for the current running version of Datasette, e.g. to https://docs.datasette.io/en/0.63/json_api.html

The API Explorer should definitely link to the /-/create-token page for users who have permission though.

And it should probably go in the Datasette application menu?

Here's a slightly wild idea: what if there was a button on /-/api that you could click to turn on "API explorer mode" for the rest of the Datasette interface - which sets a cookie, and that cookie means you then see "API explorer" links in all sorts of other relevant places in the Datasette UI (maybe tucked away in cog menus).

Only reason I don't want to show these to everyone is that I don't think this is a very user-friendly feature: if you don't know what an API is I don't want to expose you to it unnecessarily.

This is pretty useful now. Two features I still want to add:

  • The ability to link to the API explorer such that the form is pre-filled with material from the URL. Need to guard against clickjacking first though, so no-one can link to it in an invisible iframe and trick the user into hitting POST.
  • Some kind of list of endpoints so people can click links to start using the API explorer. A list of every table the user can write to with each of their /db/table/-/insert endpoints for example.

I want JSON syntax highlighting.

https://github.com/luyilin/json-format-highlight is an MIT licensed tiny highlighter that looks decent for this.
