A: Hi, 1. Yes you can. It's just a users table you need to create with columns like name, email and password (and any additional fields you wanna have). You will get an API immediately to fetch data from this table and post data into this table. Now, you need to integrate this api into your frontend to implement the user auth. 2. Data is stored as plain text at the moment. But we will be implementing hashing algorithm to encrypt any data.
Hi, I bought the Tier 1 plan 2 months ago and now read in the comments that there is a limit on reads and writes. If this is true, what happens if a request fails? Is there a way that I can react to this with an error code? Thanks for your info!
So I can't react in my App, i.e. re-request at a later time or show the user some message to try again later? Getting an email doesn't really help zu react. PS: I mean the number of db accesses (20 per 10 seconds, if I remember correctly). 2.) In Tier 2 there is currently no limit, right? Thanks

Q: Financial security
Hi, I bought a tier 2 and love the endless possibilities. We almost all agree that your saas solution is 5 stars gem. The fixed price for every additional database is amazingly good. My only worry is to develop many projects and let's say, my project has massive trafic and require lots of storage space. How can this be sustainable on your side with server cost and data storage? Financial security is as important as cybersecurity. Imagine the cost of all projects linked to you database. I am looking forward to your answer. And congratulations for this amazing deal.
A: Hi, That's a great question. And we totally understand your concern. Tbh, there is nothing like unlimited in online space. It's just a way to convey that we will offering you the amount of space you would hardly be able to use. Though there are power users who test the system to its limits, but the majority don't even touch 1% mark in the limits. This is where we make the money. To give you a better picture, we have 3708 users right now and the total storage utilisation is just 0.87%. So rest assured, you are never going out of storage for sure. And in the future, we will be letting users to integrate with their own servers so as to keep all the data at their end.
A: Hi, Databases are built in MySQL. And API endpoints are generated instantly for your use which you can integrate with your application which can be a custom coded, like react, or created using a nocode builder, like bubble or webflow, etc. You just need to have a way to call APIs from your application.
Thanks I’ve sent a message using the support menu item yesterday. Didn’t get any email or reference ticket number. I’ll get an email sent too.
Q: Does the databases refreshes/renews every month?
Does the databases refreshes/renews every month? For example, for tier 2, you get access to 15 databases per month or it's just 15 databases for the entire lifetime purchase?
It seems that NoCodeBackend is not able to store images and files, which seems to be a major drawback: every use-case I can think of, from membership databases, through product catalogues, to blogs, all require the backend to be able to store images and other files. Is that correct? If so, how are your users handling this requirement? It seems that storing images and other files on a separate storage platform, and then correctly syncing that storage with records in NoCodeBackend would be a major hassle...
A: Hi, Yes currently we don't offer file storage. You need to have files (like Media or documents) hosted somewhere, such as google drive, dropbox, etc and then you can simply add those as a link inside NoCodeBackend.
Really? You are offering a lifetime "no code" (That is if you know how to SQL code) backend database and API (but not from your own domain, unless you pay the same as the Supabase add on) without any storage, nothing, not even the possibility, please give me one use case for this in modern day no-code development. As a backup of your site or for archiving your database, maybe? Good luck with that
Not sure I understood your ask here. Few things to clarify: 1. It's not mandatory to know SQL. It's an additional feature we have for those who knows sql. 2. Without storage? Who told you that? There is a difference between blob storage and file storage. We offer blob storage not file storage (but soon we will offer that as well). 3. Please check out our Youtube channel for usecases.
Q: CNAME listed as feature
CNAME is listed as feature for this deal. In the comments I did read that CNAME is an addon ? So it is NOT included and needs to be paid for separately ?
A: Hi, 1. Adding additional users is only available on Tier 3 and above. 2. No. But you can personalize your API URL with your domain. It's available as an add-on. 3. Yes you can export the database in sql format. You cannot export API config as it's writen and managed only via our proprietary method in the backend.
I want to create a matching query that automatically updates my clients if a new property enters a database matching theore criteria. I want to send an email out with the match. Is this possible to do? Basically a matching algorithm that searches and matches records and sends out an email notification each day or every few days. If the data grows large, are would there me any limitations?
I have looked into airtable and google apps script, but I am not convinced it can done without scripting. I'm looking for no or minimal code solution. I liked your video that combines your tool with Lovable for building a front end, but not sure where the matching algorithm would go.
Appreciate any feedback or tips on how to approach this.
A: Hi, We are a database solution. You can use us as your backend database to store your data, and we provide you with APIs to access your custom data. But sending out emails, or doing any kind of automation needs to be done in an automation tool, like zapier or pabbly or similar. I can ask my team to see if we can create a video for something similar to this usecase.
Thank you for getting back. Yes, I understand this is a back end database only, however if I need to pass a certain criteria or multiple criteria to find matching records, is that possible in your platform? I would love to see a demo video for this use case.
Yes it's possible. We have already covered this in our demo video. This is available on your dashboard.
Q: I'm considering purchasing it to build an AI writing assistant:
1. Multi-user system with a super-user who can create specialized AI writing assistants for different clients 2. The ability for the super-user to upload training materials to customize each AI assistant 3. Integration with AI APIs (like OpenAI, openrouter or Straico) for content generation. Token usage tracking and management 4. Storage of all generated content history 5. Deployment on standard web hosting? I have some questions: 1. Does it have all the database and API capabilities needed for this use case? 2. What would be the deployment process to a standard shared hosting environment? (no mandatory, I guess) 3. As someone without development experience, would I be able to implement this solution following tutorials? 4. Are there any limitations that would make this project particularly challenging?
Hello, we need to connect multiple applications that we purchased in the AppSumo store, and need an alternative to Zapier or Pabbly. We intend to run high-volume tasks. Some tools will connect on a one-to-one basis. Other uses will include multiple app interactions. Can your platform accommodate our requirements?

If these features are not supported—filtering, pagination, or table joins—it raises concerns about the scalability and production readiness of the service. Could you clarify how your platform handles these use cases or recommend best practices for managing such limitations?
A: Hi, Filtering is supported. You get a dedicated endpoint just to fetch results based on filters you pass. JOINS: This is in development and will be launched soon. We know the importance of it and understand how it can be critical in fetching combined results. PAGINATION: This is something we will be working on once we build out JOINS.
Hey chris-james Just wanted to share an update that creating JOINS is now possible inside NoCodeBackend. You can check this video for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Zps53hn9U
That’s awesome. Thanks for the quick reply and it looks like you guys are turning out new features really fast that’s great I would like to suggest making a new API endpoint per join because a user might still need to just get the courses data as well. so maybe course_students should be the join end point.
Thanks a lot for launching this. I had a doubt. In the above comment you've mentioned "You get a dedicated endpoint just to fetch results based on filters you pass". What is the format to pass these filters? I couldn't find any documentation or inputs in the API documentation to pass these.
I also want to know this. For example, how to obtain specific data from a particular product/user only, instead of retrieving all data found in those joined tables. I was expecting to have the option to send a payload to filter from specific items in a similar way as with the /search/ endpoints.
Q: GraphQL
Do you have plans to implement GraphQL in the future?
A: Hi Bernd, Sure we can think about this. But can you let us know how it will be better or may benefit other users? Any additional features or anything it can provide?
It would allow a simple way to sort, filter for a range, etc already by the query and not only by the application. So it would make it more easy to request certain data just by the query without the need of the 'overhead' of an application.
Yes, please add this, it would be extremely helpful. It will provide much more flexibility which is crucial to build apps without adding extra code plus obtaining results more faster and in a more clean way.
Q: Scrape data
Hi,
is it possible to scrape data from another website to update API?
Hi. This may be a rookie question, but when you create a database. Where is the schema stored and the data... Where would users access the 'app' and associated data? I ask this as we have a decentralised team located worldwide and would need real-time access to data and the updates they perform.
The databases are hosted on our EU and US servers. NoCodeBackend essentially generates APIs for your database which you can use on your front-end app to display the data or perform any kind of database operations like adding new data, modifying existing data. Thanks
Can I use https://www.askyourdatabase.com/ with Nocodebackend? Can I use Typebot.io - https://docs.typebot.io/editor/blocks/integrations/http-request with Nocodebackend? Thank you.
A: Hi PMac, You do get a comprehensive API documentation generated automatically for you as soon as you finish setting up your database. And it also gets auto-updated whenever you update your database.
Hi Riya, - - Thanks for the quick response. How did you develop your documentation model? And is there any way to review an example of one of the API end user docs? I'm fascinated to see how your solution figures out the most helpful ways to produce content that serves your users best. Thank you. - P.
Hi PMac, We use Swagger to generate the documentation UI, and write our custom code in the backend to make that UI dynamic and always up-to-date. Check below API documentation for your reference: https://api.nocodebackend.com/api-docs/?Instance=32939_educationdb
