QuintaDB REST API



The QuintaDB REST API is designed to unlock the potential of the data stored within your QuintaDB database. Using this API you can achieve more than currently offered by the default QuintaDB UI. This is how we give you ability to do with your data everything you need and in the way you need. You can create your own scripts, desktop and mobile applications for different platforms like iPhone/Android and many more. And QuintaDB will be a place where you store, share and manage your data.

Relationships - How to link records

In order to update link between records your have to pass separate hash into CREATE or UPDATE record call.

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d '{"rel":{REL_ID:RECORD_ID}}' "https://quintadb.com/apps/APP_ID/dtypes/CURRENT_RECORD_ID.json?rest_api_key=API_KEY"

This hash should be like 'rel' => {rel_id => RECORD_ID} or 'rel' => {rel_id => [RECORD_ID, RECORD_ID2]} if you have many-to-many relationship. Where RECORD_ID it's a record's ID with which you want to link current record. Please, see below how to get rel_id.

ENTITY_ID You have to know your field's form identifier in order to update field settings. You can find ENTITY_ID using Fetch All Forms call.
