Is it a good idea to build out a no-code platform for an API (programming.dev)

I currently have an API that is gaining traction. I would like to market towards people that are able to use APIs, however there is a technical barrier when It comes to requesting an endpoint, saving data, building a script around that, etc.

Should I build a web application that allows non-technical users to access the data from the API? Or, Is that a waste of time for the effort put in?

Well, terminology is to call scam promising that even a cat will be able to build a rocket with UI blocks "no-code".

Since using "no-code" usually ends up with writing code (usually in JavaScript, afaik), it would be more honest to not call it that, anyway, scammy promises aside
