Create your project

1

Navigate to the Dashboard

Head to https://app.basic.tech to begin creating your project.

2

Login / Signup with Basic

Login with your Basic account. If you don’t have one yet, signup to Basic.

3

Create your project

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

4

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.

5

Manage your projects

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

6

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.

7

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

Make sure to replace <YOUR_PROJECT_ID> and <YOUR_API_KEY>.

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

Next steps

You can now start building your app! If you are using a React app, we recommend you use the React SDK to get started.

Otherwise, you can use the API for any language.
