You should check out Code on Standard Library [0], we do exactly this - turn JavaScript files into APIs via the open source FunctionScript specification [1]. We’re a Stripe-backed company and we do a lot of other stuff, too (handle auth between multiple providers... etc.), but building APIs easily is where we started.

We have a lot of new tooling coming soon, so if this is of interest to you please reach out! You can e-mail me directly: keith at (our domain).

I signed up to stdlib a while back because it sounds like exactly what I want and looked really cool. I don't remember what through me off exactly but I will take another look.
No worries! We’re improving all the time. The problems we solve within organizations revolve around connecting APIs together (like Stripe and Slack), but the system we’ve built to manage that is effectively a fully-functional API registry and module management system you can use on your own :).
