urBackend 🚀

urBackend is an instant "Backend-as-a-Service" (BaaS) platform designed for frontend developers. It empowers you to create projects, define database schemas, manage authentication, and handle file storage without writing a single line of backend code.

Stop writing boilerplate. Get an instant Database, Authentication, and Storage API for your next big idea.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Instant NoSQL Database: Create collections and push JSON data instantly. No server setup required.
• 🛡️ Authentication: Built-in User Management (Sign Up, Login, Profile) secured with JWT.
• 📂 Cloud Storage: Upload, manage, and delete files/images with public CDN links.
• 📊 Real-time Analytics: Monitor API usage, traffic, and storage limits via the dashboard.
• 🛠️ Visual Schema Builder: Define table columns (String, Number, Boolean, Date) through an intuitive UI.
• 🔒 Security: API Key-based access control and Row Level Security.

Important

Security Warning: Your x-api-key grants Admin Access (Read/Write/Delete).

• ❌ NEVER use this key in client-side code (frontend).
• ✅ ONLY use this key in secure server-side environments.

  body: JSON.stringify({ price: 1199 })
});

// Delete
await fetch(`https://api.urbackend.bitbros.in/api/data/products/${id}`, {
  method: 'DELETE',
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});

3. Storage API

Upload File:

const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);

const res = await fetch('https://api.urbackend.bitbros.in/api/storage/upload', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' },
  body: formData
});
const data = await res.json();
