There isn't a client side API. It's an HTTP GET for read, which returns an application/json response, and a POST of the same to create, other http ops for delete (DELETE), update (PUT).
I assume you would use https.request() in node or some abstraction that sits on top of that.

#34Making this free is brilliant.
(1) maybe OP has AWS or GCP credits (very easy to get from these companies’ startup ambassadors)

This is exactly the right way to start a business... Do one thing well in a way that doesn’t scale — this gives you the opportunity to learn from customers and build better offerings.
Why do you think AWS and GCP give out free credits to begin with?
