StatikAPI Documentation

Build APIs from your data — without backend complexity.

StatikAPI helps you combine external APIs with your own content, shape outputs, and publish reliable structured endpoints. These docs cover the open source foundation, with guidance for local CLI workflows, Cloudflare deployment, and hosted platform usage.

StatikAPI App

Use the hosted visual workflow when you want managed publishing, private APIs, and automation.

Open StatikAPI App

The open source CLI stays free and self-hostable. StatikAPI App adds hosted workflows, visual editing, automations, analytics, and private API access.

CLI Overview

StatikAPI provides two command-line tools to help you work efficiently:

  • statikapi — the core CLI used to develop and build your static JSON API.
  • create-statikapi — the scaffolding tool to quickly start new projects with templates and deploy presets.

Use them together like this:

  1. create-statikapi
    • start a new project quickly
    • choose a template
    • get example routes and scripts
  2. statikapi
    • build JSON locally
    • run watch/dev mode
    • preview the generated routes at /_ui/

If you are working on the Cloudflare path, the scaffold also introduces:

  • statikapi-cf

through the generated project scripts, although that adapter CLI is documented from the Cloudflare pages rather than as a separate top-level CLI page.
