Documentation

This is a free server that aims to provide some basic tools for non-developers or developers who aren't completely comfortable with hosting their own web platform.

Specifically this was built out of the need for a non-browser (a Spectrum Next) to speak to a web server over HTTP and to exchange small amounts of data.

What is this service?

This web site provides a URL that devices can make HTTP GET and POST requests to. When a POST request is made, your "app" captures this, and when a GET is made, your app responds with your preconfigured data.

For example, if I want to allow players to submit their high scores for my own moderation and I want to provide a high scores table, I my app can receive the high scores I can manually moderate those scores and manually update the overall high scores table.

An extended feature is to use the "hooks" to dynamically update your GET response (which you can read about later).

Is this free / how much do I need to pay?

Remy Sharp wrote this app because it I needed something for my own software and it didn't take much to enhance it into multi-user.

The service is currently free, and will remain so, whilst it is able to run on a single server with little to zero maintenance.

How do I create an account?

Accounts are issued on a request basis whilst demand is low. Please email me and I can send you a sign in.

Can I trust this service?

All the source code is available freely online to view, fork or even host yourself if you wish.
