NL2SQL API

FastAPI REST service for the NL2SQL engine (nl2sql-engine). It builds one NL2SQL engine at startup, from the same env file and configs as the CLI, and serves it under /api/v1.

Running the API

pip install nl2sql-api
ENV=demo NL2SQL_API_ROLE=admin nl2sql-api --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 [--reload]
# or: python -m nl2sql_api.server ..., or: uvicorn nl2sql_api.main:app

Start it from the folder holding the env file and configs (the demo's use relative paths). Interactive docs: Swagger UI at /docs, ReDoc at /redoc, the schema at /openapi.json.

The API does not authenticate callers and never takes the RBAC role from the request body. Set one of: NL2SQL_API_ROLE_HEADER (a header a trusted proxy sets), NL2SQL_API_ROLE (one static role) or, for local testing only, NL2SQL_API_TRUST_BODY_ROLE=true (the body's user_context; logs a warning). With none, /api/v1/query and /api/v1/query/stream answer HTTP 401.

Endpoints
