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.

Other Providers

Any provider that supports static hosting can serve your generated JSON files.
The process is typically the same — upload your api-out/ directory and map your routes.


Common Providers

Vercel

Vercel has a dedicated deployment guide now: Vercel

Firebase Hosting

Firebase supports static file hosting.
Simply add your build directory in firebase.json:

json
{
  "hosting": {
    "public": "api-out"
  }
}

Then deploy:

bash
firebase deploy

DigitalOcean Spaces

Use s3cmd or the AWS CLI to sync files:

bash
aws s3 sync api-out s3://my-space-name --endpoint-url https://nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com

Render

Render can serve static content from any folder.
Create a new Static Site and point it to your api-out/ folder.

Surge.sh

You can deploy instantly using the Surge CLI:

bash
surge --project api-out --domain myapi.surge.sh

If you run the command from inside api-out/, you can omit --project.


Performance Tip

Use a CDN layer (Cloudflare, Fastly, BunnyCDN, or similar) in front of your JSON hosting for faster global delivery and caching.


Considerations

  • These services are best suited for small to medium JSON projects or API prototypes.
  • For larger datasets or high-traffic APIs, prefer object storage solutions like Cloudflare R2 or Amazon S3.
  • You can also host your APIs directly with StatikAPI Cloud (coming soon) — a managed platform for static JSON APIs with automatic builds, versioned deployments, and integrated CDN caching.
