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.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

400 Pantry not found The pantry ID in the URL does not match any registered pantry
✓ Double-check your pantry ID from the getpantry.cloud dashboard; it is a UUID like 4a3b2c1d-1234-...
Data overwritten unexpectedly PUT replaces the entire basket contents, not merging with existing data
✓ To update only part of the data, GET the basket first, merge changes in your code, then PUT the full merged object back
Storage limit reached Free Pantry accounts have a 1 MB total storage cap across all baskets
✓ Delete unused baskets via DELETE /basket/{basketName} to free up space, or reduce the data stored in each basket
