Build backend API routes on zo.space using natural language. Your endpoints go live instantly — no hosting, no deploy steps, no server configuration.
Quick Start
Create an API endpoint at /api/hello that returns a JSON greeting with the current time
Steps
Step 1: Describe your API
Tell Zo what you want the endpoint to do:
Create an API route at /api/quotes that returns a random motivational quote as JSON
Step 2: Zo writes and deploys the code
Zo creates the route on your zo.space and it's live immediately. You'll get a URL like:
https://yourhandle.zo.space/api/quotes
Step 3: Test it
Click the link or use curl to test:
curl https://yourhandle.zo.space/api/quotesStep 4: Iterate
Ask Zo to make changes:
Add a category parameter so I can filter quotes by topic
Step 5: Secure it (optional)
If your API handles sensitive data, add bearer token auth:
Add authentication to my /api/quotes endpoint using a bearer token
Zo will set up the auth pattern and guide you through saving your secret in Settings > Advanced.
Use Cases
- Personal API endpoints for side projects
- Webhook receivers for Stripe, GitHub, or other services
- Data APIs that read from your workspace files
- Backend for your zo.space pages
- Quick prototyping without infrastructure setup
