After creating your Basic account, head to the Dashboard and create a new project.

Add your project details

Use the form to create a project with a unique name and slug. Make sure not to leave the name or slug fields blank.

Manage your projects

This page allows you to view all your projects and manage them. To view project details, click into any of them.

Note your project ID, database URL, and API key (keep this a secret!)

You’ll need these if you’re using the API to connect to your database. Store them securely.

Keep your API Key a secret! Only use it on a secure server environment.

(Optional) You can test everything is working by making a sample fetch request to your database:

fetch("https://api.basic.tech/project/<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", {
  headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>",
  },
}).then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

Create your schema

There are two ways to create your schema, either using the table UI, or by using the code editor. Let’s explore the table UI first.

Add a new table

Give your table a unique name, and add fields to it. Fields need to have a unique name within each table, and you can use the dropdown to select the type of each field.Fields can take on the following types: string, number, boolean, json.

(Optional) Edit your schema with the code editor

You can also edit your schema with the code editor.

Publish your changes

Once you’ve added your tables, you can publish your changes. Upon publishing, you’ll notice your version number has been automatically incremented.You may also discard changes if you’d like to revert to the existing version.
