REST API integration
Xano REST API integration for Draftbit
Connect to Xano API groups
What is Xano?
Xano API groups expose custom, CRUD, auth, and upload endpoints as REST APIs. Add your Xano host and API group, then adapt the seeded endpoints to the resources generated in your workspace.
Use Xano with Draftbit
- Built-in endpoints: List records, Get records, Create records, Update records, Delete records.
- Bind any Xano 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 Xano's client library.

Example
xano-example.ts // Example: fetch from Xano
const response = await fetch("https://{xano_host}/api:{api_group}/{resource}", {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_XANO_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 `Authorization` header. Paste your key once in Draftbit and every request to Xano carries it automatically — secrets stay on the server side.
