Quickstart
Ship your first live payload in 10 minutes.
Follow these steps to create a project, draft your JSON, publish, and read from the protected live endpoint.
1) Create project and fields
- Sign up and create your first project.
- Add fields in the builder (text, number, date, boolean, or list types).
- Enter values in draft mode and save.
2) Publish your draft snapshot
- Open your project editor.
- Use Publish to copy the latest draft into the live snapshot.
- Keep iterating on draft while live stays stable.
3) Fetch live payload
Use whichever format fits your stack. All requests hit the same live endpoint.
curl -X GET \ "https://simpledataapi.com/api/live/<project_id>" \ -H "x-api-key: <your_live_api_key>"Postman request format:
GET https://simpledataapi.com/api/live/<project_id>Header: x-api-key: <your_live_api_key>Python (`requests`) example:
import requestsurl = "https://simpledataapi.com/api/live/<project_id>"headers = {"x-api-key": "<your_live_api_key>"}response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=20)print(response.status_code)print(response.json())JavaScript (`fetch`) example:
const response = await fetch( "https://simpledataapi.com/api/live/<project_id>", { method: "GET", headers: { "x-api-key": "<your_live_api_key>", }, });const data = await response.json();console.log(data);4) Typical response
{ "headline": "Weekend route sale", "startsAt": "2026-05-02", "offers": [ { "route": "SFO-LAX", "price": 79 }, { "route": "JFK-MIA", "price": 119 } ]}5) Keep your API key secure
- Only share your API key with trusted creators and developers who are directly connected to your project.
- Never commit API keys to public code repositories, public docs, screenshots, or client-side bundles.
- Unintended usage can consume your daily resources and impact your production endpoint reliability.
- If you suspect key exposure, rotate the key in your project settings immediately and update any services using the old key.
