Introduction

The StaticBackend API is accessible via HTTPS requests. Some should use a multipart/form-data format, and others should use application/json.

The URL to access the API is based on the region you selected for your project. At this moment we support only a North America region.

All requests need authentication except the login and register endpoints.

Authentication

To authenticate a request you need to pass two HTTP headers.

SB-PUBLIC-KEY: Your StaticBackend public key. Find it in your project’s settings page.

Authorization: The current user’s autentication token obtained via a login or register call. Use the Bearer type, like this:

Authorization: Bearer your-token-here

Example request

Here’s an example of an authenticated request that adds a document to a Tasks repository.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "SB-PUBLIC-KEY: your-pub-key" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer user-token" \
     -X POST \
     -d '{"name": "task name", "done": false}' \
