What is gimme∎. (gimmeendpoint) and What is it Good For? 🚀
gimme∎. is a super simple key-value database that lets you store, retrieve, and structure small pieces of data online—without needing to set up anything complicated.
🔹 What Can You Do With It?
- Store Small Bits of Data – You send a JSON object, give it an ID and some tags, and later retrieve it by ID or tags.
- Super Fast Setup – No need for a big database system. Just send data via an API, and it’s stored instantly.
- Secure Access – Control access using a secure API token.
- Custom Structure Support – Define a data structure, and query based on the structure details.
🔹 Share Data Between Different APIs and Websites
One of the best use cases for gimme∎. is sharing data between different APIs and websites in a simple and secure way.
How does that work?
- Your different APIs or websites can store data in gimme∎. under a unique ID and relevant tags.
- Later, they can retrieve the same data using the API, even if they are separate systems.
Why is this useful?
✅ Cross-App Communication – Multiple websites, apps, or microservices can share temporary data without direct communication.
✅ Decoupled Systems – APIs and websites don’t need to talk to each other directly; they just read and write from gimme∎..
✅ Secure & Controlled Access – Since each API request requires a secure token, only authorized systems can read or write the data.
🔹 Custom Structure and Querying
Unlike a basic key-value store, gimme∎. allows you to define a custom structure for your stored data.
- You can set up predefined data fields to ensure consistency in how data is stored.
- This enables structured queries based on specific fields rather than just retrieving by ID or tags.
🔹 Example Use Cases
✅ IoT Devices & Sensor Data
Store structured readings like temperature, humidity, and device status, then query devices based on conditions (e.g., temperature > 30°C
).
✅ Feature Flags & Dynamic Configurations
Save configuration settings and feature flags per user or device, allowing apps to retrieve settings dynamically.
✅ Event Logging & Activity Tracking
Store structured logs with event_type
, timestamp
, and user_id
fields, then filter logs dynamically across platforms.
✅ Simple & Quick Form Integrations
Easily store data from online forms without needing a backend. Just send form submissions to gimme∎. and retrieve them as needed.
✅ Feedback Collection
Save user feedback, reviews, or surveys from different platforms in a structured format and analyze it later.
✅ User Profiles & Preferences
Store structured user data (e.g., user_role: "admin"
, theme: "dark"
) and query based on roles or preferences.
✅ Temporary Data for Multi-Session Workflows
Cache temporary user actions, form drafts, or incomplete transactions that can be retrieved later.
✅ Shared Data Storage for Microservices
Use gimme∎. as a lightweight data store for microservices that need to share structured data without direct dependencies.
✅ Customer Support & Ticketing Data
Store customer inquiries, categorize them, and retrieve structured data for processing support tickets efficiently.
🚀 Why Use gimme∎.?
If you need a quick, lightweight, and secure way to store and retrieve structured data across multiple apps or services, gimme∎. is more than just a key-value store—it gives you flexibility with structured queries and shared access. It acts as a simple, universal data hub for your projects.
