Simple way to create an API from existing MySQL ?

Hello, I am trying to find a way to link to my existing project DB ( the project it self built by another developer through NodeJS, and its hard to do any modification with it as its live project and the developer is not reachable ) So I am trying to build an alternative chart dashboard, just something simple till I can reach the developer rather than build something from scratch, I am trying to find something to allow access to the DB and generate API for it.

I saw something similar like this https://crudigniter.github.io/ but not sure if there is something on top of laravel or something new to use.

@Sinnbeck, yes may do the trick, though it will require deleting all the extra stuff because I just need to read the data from the DB only, thanks appreciate the share.
