API Backend

Why Use a JSON API Backend?

Traditional backend development requires setting up servers, configuring databases, and writing boilerplate API routes. A JSON API backend eliminates this friction entirely. Upload or paste your JSON data, and you instantly get a fully-functional REST API with GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH support. Perfect for developers building headless CMS solutions, static site generators, or rapid prototypes where you need real data flowing — without the overhead of maintaining infrastructure.

// 1. Store your config
const res = await fetch(
  'https://api.jsonstorage.net/v1/json/YOUR_USER_ID/YOUR_ITEM_ID',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      theme: "dark",
      features: ["auth", "payments"],
      apiVersion: 2
    })
  }
);

// 2. Fetch it from any client
const config = await fetch(
  'https://api.jsonstorage.net/v1/json/YOUR_USER_ID/YOUR_ITEM_ID'
).then(r => r.json());

console.log(config.theme); // "dark"

Real-World Use Cases

🏗️

Headless CMS for Static Sites

Build your frontend with Gatsby, Next.js, or Hugo and pull content dynamically from your JSON API backend. Update text, images, and layouts without redeploying your site.

📱

Mobile App Configuration

Ship your iOS or Android app once and control its behavior remotely. Toggle features, change onboarding flows, or push new content updates — all by updating a single JSON endpoint.

🤖

AI Agent State Storage

Give autonomous AI agents persistent memory. Store conversation context, user preferences, or tool outputs between sessions using simple GET and POST requests. No database driver needed.

🧪

Rapid Prototyping & Hackathons

Skip weeks of backend development during hackathons. Stand up a working API in under 60 seconds and focus your energy on the user experience and business logic.

🎮

Game Save Data

Persist player progress, leaderboard scores, and game settings in the cloud. Works with Unity, Unreal Engine, or any HTML5 game framework via simple HTTP calls.

🔧

Webhooks & Middleware

Use JSON Storage as a lightweight intermediary between services. Accept webhook payloads, transform data, and serve the processed output to downstream consumers.

Common questions answered

Frequently asked questions

What happens when I exceed the free tier limits?
The free tier includes 25 items, 1,000 API requests per month, and up to 64kb per item. If you reach these limits, requests may be rate-limited. Every paid plan starts with a free 31-day trial, so you can scale up without any interruption.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes, absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the app dashboard. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. After cancellation, you'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period, then your account reverts to the free tier.
How is my data stored and secured?
All data is stored on Cloudflare's global edge network with encryption at rest and in transit. API requests are served over SSL. Your JSON data is only accessible if the requester knows the unique item ID — there is no public directory of stored items.
What payment methods do you accept?
We use Stripe for secure payment processing. You can pay with all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) as well as other payment methods supported by Stripe in your region. All payment information is handled directly by Stripe — we never store your card details.
Is there a free trial for paid plans?
Yes! Every paid plan includes a 31-day free trial. You'll need to provide a payment method when starting the trial, but you won't be charged until the trial period ends. If you cancel before the trial is over, you won't be charged at all. You can also use the free tier indefinitely with no account or credit card required.
What kind of support do I get?
Support varies by plan. Free tier users can reach out via Twitter (@jsonstorage). Paid plans include standard and priority support depending on the tier. We also maintain documentation and examples at our GitHub repository to help you get started quickly.
