It's a bit of a vague question, generally an API is backend - and you're kinda asking "should I make a frontend for this?" - hard to tell without context...
If you just want a "semi-developer-ish" frontend, you could look into just making an OpenAPI spec for it, and using something like Swagger as a frontend. Then at least you have some kind of GUI
Currently I have a documentation page that points users to the endpoints. I also have the fastapi OpenAPI documentation available for users.
For what im doing it will be a mixture of what OpenAPI does with the requests directly in the documentation and the ability to create "bots" around it for non-technical users like airtable.
