Pantry API
Overview
Pantry is a free, no-signup JSON storage API designed for small projects and prototypes that need simple key-value persistence without a database. You register a pantry (your namespace) and create named "baskets" (buckets) where you PUT and GET arbitrary JSON objects via REST. It is ideal for storing config, high scores, or small datasets during hackathons and learning projects.
Beginner Tip
Sign up at getpantry.cloud to receive your unique pantry ID — no coding required, just an email address. Use PUT to create a basket with any JSON body and GET to read it back; there is no auth token, just your pantry ID in the URL path.

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://getpantry.cloud/apiv1/pantry/YOUR_PANTRY_ID/basket/myBasket";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
