JSONbin.io

Verified Jul 2026

JSONbin.io is a hosted JSON store where each "bin" is created and fetched through a versioned (v3) REST API secured by an `X-Master-Key`/`X-Access-Key` header pair, with support for private bins, per-bin access control, and JSONPath-style querying of stored records. The free account tier covers small projects; paid Pro plans raise the request-volume and bin-count ceilings for production use.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
