⚠️ Jsonbox.io cloud instance was shut down on May 31st, 2021 due to a lack of maintenance time. The Jsonbox.io's source code will continue to be open-sourced in this repository.

jsonbox.io

A HTTP based JSON storage. It lets you store, read & modify JSON data over HTTP APIs for FREE. Ideal for small projects, prototypes or hackathons, where you don't have to spin up your own data store.

With the new protected boxes (introduced in v2), you can even power your websites with jsonbox.io.

API Documentation

Base URL: https://jsonbox.io/

Create

You can create a record (or add a record) to a box by using HTTP post to jsonbox.io/${BOX_ID}.

curl -X POST 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b' \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '{"name": "Jon Snow", "age": 25}'

Response:

{
  "_id": "5d776a25fd6d3d6cb1d45c51",
  "name": "Jon Snow",
  "age": 25,
  "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:17:25.607Z"
}

You can also create multiple records at once by passing an array

curl -X POST 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b' \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '[{"name": "Daenerys Targaryen", "age": 25}, {"name": "Arya Stark", "age": 16}]'

[
  {
    "_id": "5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c52",
    "name": "Daenerys Targaryen",
    "age": 25,
    "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:23:01.105Z"
  },
  {
    "_id": "5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c53",
    "name": "Arya Stark",
    "age": 16,
    "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:23:01.105Z"
  }
]

You can also pass in an optional collections parameter in the URL to group records jsonbox.io/${BOX_ID}/${COLLECTION}.

Note: A valid ${BOX_ID} & ${COLLECTION} should contain only alphanumeric characters & _. ${BOX_ID} should be at least 20 characters long.

Read

Use HTTP GET to read all the records or a single record. You can also query & sort the records.

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b'

[
  {
    "_id": "5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c52",
    "name": "Daenerys Targaryen",
    "age": 25,
    "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:23:01.105Z"
  },
  {
    "_id": "5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c53",
    "name": "Arya Stark",
    "age": 16,
    "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:23:01.105Z"
  },
  {
    "_id": "5d776a25fd6d3d6cb1d45c51",
    "name": "Jon Snow",
    "age": 25,
    "_createdOn": "2019-09-10T09:17:25.607Z"
  }
]

To get all records inside a collection Sample collection name: "users":

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b/users'

To sort the records by a specific field use sort query param. In the below example the output will be sorted in the descending order of the age.

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b?sort=-age'

To read a specific record use jsonbox.io/${BOX_ID}/${RECORD_ID}.

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b/5d776a25fd6d3d6cb1d45c51'

To query records, you have to pass the key & value as shown below.

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b?q=name:arya%20stark'

All the accepted query params are as follows.

Filtering

You can pass a filter in a query by passing them in URL param q as shown below:

curl -X GET 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b?q=name:arya%20stark,age:>13'

The above sample will look for the name arya stark and age greater than 13. You can filter on Number, String & Boolean values only.

Different filters for Numeric values.

Different filters for String values.

You can combine multiple fields by separating them with commas as shown below:

https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b?q=name:arya%20stark,age:>13,isalive:true

Update

Use HTTP PUT to update record one by one. Please note that this will not patch the record, it is full update. A Bulk update is not supported yet.

curl -X PUT 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b/5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c53' \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '{"name": "Arya Stark", "age": 18}'

Delete

Two approaches are available for delete

• To delete a specific record use HTTP DELETE with jsonbox.io/${BOX_ID}/${RECORD_ID}

curl -X DELETE 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b/5d776b75fd6d3d6cb1d45c53'

• To delete based on a filter use HTTP DELETE with jsonbox.io/${BOX_ID}?q={QUERY}

curl -X DELETE 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b?q=name:arya%20stark,age:>13'

Protected Box

A protected box is similar to a regular box, but you need an API-KEY to create / update / delete records. Reading records is open and does not need API-KEY. Pass the API-KEY using the X-API-KEY HTTP header.

curl -X POST 'https://jsonbox.io/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b' \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --H 'x-api-key: 7b3b910b-a7ad-41e8-89d6-5e28e2e34e70' \
    -d '{"name": "Jon Snow", "age": 25}'

You can also use Authorization: API-KEY 7b3b910b-a7ad-41e8-89d6-5e28e2e34e70 header. An API-KEY should be a valid GUID/UUID.

How to create a protected box?

You create a protected box by pushing your first record to a new box with an API-KEY. All the subsequent write requests to that box expect the API-KEY to be passed. You cannot change a public box to protected or vice versa.

Getting Box metadata

Use /_meta/${BOX_ID} in a GET request to get metadata of a box

https://jsonbox.io/_meta/demobox_6d9e326c183fde7b

The result will have the following format

{
  "_count": 3,
  "_createdOn": "2020-03-12T04:45:22.000Z",
  "_updatedOn": "2020-03-12T06:23:26.000Z"
}

• _count - the record count in the box
• _createdOn - the oldest record's created date
• _updatedOn - the most recent updated date

Optional IP Filtering

When running your own instance localy, you could define IP Address filtering.
Set the value of FILTER_IP_SET in config.js to the set of allowed IP addresses.

Single IP:

FILTER_IP_SET: ['192.168.1.123']

Using CIDR subnet masks for ranges:

FILTER_IP_SET: ['127.0.0.1/24']

Using IP ranges:

FILTER_IP_SET: [['127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.10']]

Using wildcard ip ranges and nginx forwarding:

FILTER_IP_SET: ['10.1.*.*', '123.??.34.8*']

Limitations

This is FREE service, so we have to have some limitations to avoid abuse and stay free forever.

1. The request body cannot be more than 50KB.
2. Can't push or pull more than 1000 records at a time.
3. POST requests are rate-limited to 100 per hour per IP address
4. There is no limit on the number of records you store in a box, but please don't abuse the API by storing large datasets of more than 5000 records. This is meant for small projects and that's why it is offered FREE of cost.
5. 30 days of data retention.
6. No backup. If your data is lost due to some technical issues, its lost forever.
