Database β†’ API in Seconds

PostgREST turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. Every table becomes an endpoint. Every column becomes a filter. No code generation, no ORM, no boilerplate.

# Your table becomes an API

GET /users?age=gt.18&order=name

POST /users

PATCH /users?id=eq.1

Built-in Security

PostgREST uses PostgreSQL's row-level security (RLS) policies. Define who can access what directly in your database - the API respects those rules automatically.

JWT authentication out of the box. Your existing auth system works seamlessly.
