Create your project

This guide uses the dashboard to manage your project - a CLI is in progress.
1

Login to the Dashboard

You can login/signup using your Basic.id account - if you don’t have one yet, you will be prompted to create one.

2

Create your project

After creating your account, head to the Dashboard and create a new project using the button on the top right.

3

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

Your project ID is a public identifier for your project.

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

4

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, you can use the react library to get started.

Otherwise, you can use the API for any language.
