Getting Started

From sign-up to your first API call in 60 seconds.

1. Create an Account

Sign up at jsondb.cloud/signup — it takes 10 seconds. Free tier includes 1,000 documents.

2. Copy Your API Key

After signing up, go to the API Keys page and create a new key. Copy it — you will only see it once.

warning

Keep your API key secret

Never commit your API key to source control. Use environment variables (e.g. JSONDB_API_KEY).

3. Store Your First Document

curl -X POST https://api.jsondb.cloud/v1/db/default/todos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title": "Buy milk", "done": false}'

4. Read It Back

curl https://api.jsondb.cloud/v1/db/default/todos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

5. You are Done!

Your JSON API is live. No database setup, no infrastructure to manage. Explore the API Reference to learn about querying, schemas, and more.
