Backenders, you know the struggle. Your project grows, and suddenly, finding an API route feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Or maybe you’re a dev stepping into a new codebase, staring at a dozen files, wondering where to even start.
That’s where OctAPI comes in.
What’s OctAPI?
OctAPI is a VS Code extension that automatically detects your API routes and lists them in a neat side panel. No more digging through files or manually documenting endpoints, it just works.
Supported frameworks:
✅ Express
✅ NestJS
✅ Koa
✅ Flask
✅ FastAPI (new! 🎉)
🔹 Features at a Glance
- See All Routes Instantly – No setup required.
