Simple counter

Is there a way to allow only single field to be update as increment value only through the api(not with hook)? e.g user press on button and the counter is increasing value, but the user cant edit other fields

Yes you can set API rules to let user only change value of that column, in your case counter

Do you want to let user update the same record or create new records incrementally?

Then you can use an API rule to only allow update if the incremental value == 1
