I Need A Database

Hosted JSON database for small apps

Post JSON now. Shape it later.

Create a project, copy an API key, and store documents over HTTP. No schema ceremony, no database server to run, and export is always part of the plan.

JSON

01

Create a project

Open an account and make one project for your app.

02

Copy the API key

Keep it server-side in your backend, worker, automation, or script.

03

Post JSON

Send documents to collections and view them in the dashboard.

Curl-first quickstart

One write. One filtered read.

Use the API directly from a backend, script, worker, or local automation. The dashboard stays focused on viewing and admin.

No SDK required
