Cloud Database

Thunkable AI can generate apps that connect to an external cloud database through a REST API. This guide uses Baserow as an example, but the same approach applies to any API-based database or backend

What you'll need

A cloud database with a REST API
An API key or access token from your database provider
Your API's base URL and endpoint structure

Sample Prompt

Use the sample prompt below as a starting point, swapping in your own database name, record types, and API details. The more specific you are about what data you want to display and what actions users should be able to take, the better your generated app will be.

Build an app that connects to my [database name] via API. 
It should display a list of [records] on the home screen, allow users to [create/update/delete] entries, and sync changes in real time. 
Use [your API base URL] as the endpoint. 
Here is the sample code:
