The Zite Database API gives you programmatic access to your databases, tables, fields, and records — the same data your apps use. Base URL:
If your workspace uses a custom deployment, use the base URL shown in your API dashboard instead.
Prefer a client library? Use the JavaScript SDK. For value shapes, see Field types.

​
Authentication

Generate an API key in the Developer settings (revoke or regenerate any time), and send it as a Bearer token:
The same API key works across all Zite REST APIs, including the Build API.
Generate an API key in the Developer settings tab

​
Finding database & table IDs

Open a database in the dashboard; the IDs are in the URL:
For example, in app.zite.com/database/67ef4d500c50cce9/t7nUTgYUjzF/vkuDPV6ZqBb the database ID is 67ef4d500c50cce9 and the table ID is t7nUTgYUjzF.
Accessing a database embedded in a Zite app? Open the database on its own and use that URL, not the editor URL.

​
Rate limits

30 requests/second per database; responses carry RateLimit-* headers. Contact support@zite.com to raise it.

Errors

All errors return { "error": { "code", "message" } }:
