I have developed a project to create endpoints to abstract searches, inserts, updates and data removal. It is possible to create elements to integrate with existing websites or use the created endpoints directly.
I recently received a rejection without any extra information about the project, something that I could change, adjust or fix.
Can anyone help me understand what might have happened in my case?
Any help is appreciated

Did you do any market research to look at whether or not this kind of system would be on the marketplace? To me it seems very complex, so I cannot give you the answer you are looking for. It is presumably connecting to MySQL databases, using a web based script?
@123Simples Thanks for the reply. Yes, before developing the project, I conducted some market research. My project allows users to register any MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server database and create custom API endpoints for the database tables.
Additionally, users can define limits and access control for these endpoints, ensuring security and controlled usage. The created endpoints can be accessed directly via cURL, Axios, or other HTTP clients. Beyond just API access, the system also allows users to generate embeddable elements that can be added to any web page.
Do you think this approach is too complex and this caused the rejection?
Is there any chance I can resubmit my project and have it reviewed by someone else? The rejection happened very quickly in my opinion and without any specific information about what is wrong or what is not good enough. The only information received is “we found it isn’t at the quality standard required to move forward”
The items sold on the Marketplace are not merely systems; they should provide a partial or complete solution to the buyer’s needs. This means that after purchasing your item, buyers should be able to install and use it immediately or customize features without requiring extensive programming knowledge or skills. They should even be able to copy design templates, extract code snippets, or reuse parts of the code for their projects.
Regarding your system, I find it highly specialized and not easily deployable for immediate use, but may require additional effort, time, and cost. It is not aimed at the majority of users on Marketplace, which means it is unlikely to achieve high sales volumes. With low sales, there would be little motivation for you to maintain, update the item, ultimately diminishing trust and credibility for both buyers, sellers, and the platform itself. Therefore, I think rejecting this item is a good decision for all parties.

The deploy is very easy and with basically one command and everything about it is detailed in the documentation. But I agree with you on some of the other points. Thanks

Whilst I believe that you are very talented at coding, to me, this would be far too advanced for Envato to consider it a viable product. I do agree with @tlssoftware and their comments that this kind of system/script would not be applicable to the majority of potential buyers on this marketplace.
With that in mind, you might find a better way of selling the script to people looking for a dedicated system like this. Thanks and good luck!
