Simple Data Service
This was built out of a need to have something very simple that I could make POST and GET requests to and importantly for my own needs it needed to run over a non TLS request. So I run my own instance at http://data.remysharp.com - you're welcome to request an account to use it for your own needs.
Running your own version
You will need a few tools and to be able to run commands from the terminal. If you're not familiar with the terminal, I have an online course with an 80% discount using "subscriber" (yes, I'm allowed to promote my own stuff!).
To run this locally you will need to install Node.
Once installed, download this source code, unzip and inside that directory, run the following commands:
npm ci
npm run dev
Yes, that's it. A local server will be running on http://localhost:8000
However, you will need access. For that, open and edit the file in bin/new-user.js
- set your own credentials and then from the terminal, in the root of the project directory, run:
node bin/new-user.js
Now the account will be made, you can sign in and you're good to start creating your own applications.
