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

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?

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.
