What is Backendless?
Backendless exposes REST endpoints for app database tables, users, files, messaging, and other backend services. Use your app subdomain and optional user token for permissioned requests.
Use Backendless with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List objects, Get objects, Create objects, Update objects, Delete objects.
- Bind any Backendless 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 Backendless's client library.
Example
backendless-example.ts // Example: fetch from Backendless
const response = await fetch("https://{subdomain}.backendless.app/api/data/{table_name}", {
headers: {
"user-token": "YOUR_BACKENDLESS_TOKEN",
},
});
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 the `user-token` header. Paste your key once in Draftbit and every request to Backendless carries it automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
