Edit: I am not asking for the api to return an executable, I want to protect the source code of the api, wherever it is installed

I'm starting with node js and I want to make an api, that's why there is no problem, but I wonder what possibility there is to make that api and give a client that obfuscated code or an exe,

I ask: It is better to obfuscate the code or generate an exe Is there another alternative where the user does not have the code?

Thank you for your response.

    If an API returned to me executable code, I would never use the API – Sterling Archer Aug 16 '17 at 01:38

    In that more clear case, I know there's a few (infancy stage) modules that produce .exe files from a node app, but there's severe limitations. I'm sure there's code obfuscators in there as well – Sterling Archer Aug 16 '17 at 01:44
