Integration Guide
Review the API Documentation
Visit the official Pantry documentation to understand available endpoints, request formats, and response structures. Familiarize yourself with the API's rate limits and usage policies before integration.
No Authentication Required
Good news — Pantry does not require any authentication. You can start making API requests directly without registering for an API key or setting up OAuth credentials.
Use HTTPS for Secure Requests
Pantry supports HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Always use HTTPS endpoints in production to protect data in transit and comply with modern web security standards.
CORS Enabled — Direct Browser Access
Pantry has CORS enabled, meaning you can make requests directly from the browser. This is ideal for frontend-only applications built with React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript.
Implement and Test
Write your API integration code, start with a simple test request to verify connectivity. Implement proper error handling for network failures, rate limits, and invalid responses. Monitor your API usage to stay within any limits.
Code Examples
JavaScript / Fetch API:
// JavaScript example
fetch("https://getpantry.cloud/")
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
}
return response.json();
})
.then(data => {
console.log("API response:", data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error("Error fetching from Pantry:", error);
});Python / Requests:
# Python example
import requests
response = requests.get("https://getpantry.cloud/")
if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
print("API response:", data)
else:
print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")Frequently Asked Questions

Editor's Notes & Deep Dive
Key Features
- →POST /apiv1/pantry/{pantry_id} creates a basket; GET retrieves it
- →Each pantry supports multiple named baskets with arbitrary JSON payloads
- →Free tier: 100MB storage, 100 req/min
Rate Limits & Quotas
100 requests per minute on the free tier; 10,000 requests per day. Baskets expire after 30 days of inactivity.
Known Issues & Pitfalls
- !Pantry IDs are long UUIDs — losing the ID means losing access to the data
- !No auth beyond the pantry ID itself — anyone with the ID can read/write
- !Baskets are auto-deleted after 30 days without a GET or POST
How It Compares
Simpler than jsonbin.io (which requires an API key). Use Pantry for ephemeral project state, not for anything sensitive.
Sample Response
{
"name": "My Pantry",
"percentFull": 0.01,
"baskets": [
{ "name": "config", "ttl": 2592000 }
]
}Pro Tips
- ✓Never store secrets in a Pantry — the ID is the only auth. Use it for client-side config or demo state.
