What is Appwrite?
Appwrite exposes REST APIs for databases, storage, auth, and other app backend services. Add your Appwrite host and project ID, then use a user JWT only for requests protected by Appwrite permissions.
Use Appwrite with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List documents, Get documents, Create documents, Update documents, Delete documents, List files.
- Bind any Appwrite endpoint to a screen, list, form, or AI agent action.
- Authentication is configured once per app — secrets stay on the server.

Example
appwrite-example.ts // Example: fetch from Appwrite
const response = await fetch("https://{appwrite_host}/v1/databases/{database_id}/collections/{collection_id}/documents", {
headers: {
"X-Appwrite-Project": "YOUR_APPWRITE_TOKEN",
"X-Appwrite-JWT": "YOUR_APPWRITE_VALUE_2",
},
});
const data = await response.json();Use cases
- Power a mobile app with a hosted database and APIs
- Add search, filtering, and pagination to a list-driven feature
- Read and write app data without managing your own server
Authentication
Authentication uses 2 headers (`X-Appwrite-Project`, `X-Appwrite-JWT`). Paste each value once in Draftbit and every request to Appwrite carries them automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
