Appwrite REST API integration for Draftbit

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.
- Add custom request and response transforms without forking Appwrite's client library.
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.
