NocodeBackend Integration

Connect your NocodeBackend instance to create beautiful, embeddable widgets. NocodeBackend is a no-code platform for building production-ready APIs and databases without coding.

Connecting NocodeBackend

Click Connect NocodeBackend

From the connection modal, click NocodeBackend. If you’ve connected before, you can select a previous connection from the dropdown.

Enter your details

You’ll need three things:

  • API URL — The URL of the NocodeBackend API (e.g., https://api.nocodebackend.com/)
  • Instance Name — Your instance identifier (e.g., 55834_example)
  • Secret Key — Your NocodeBackend API secret key

Your secret key is stored securely and is only used to read data from your NocodeBackend instance.

Select a table

After connecting, we’ll automatically discover all the tables in your instance from the auto-generated API documentation. Select the table you want to display.

Done!

Your NocodeBackend data is now connected and ready to display in your widget.

Finding your credentials

API URL

Your API URL is shown at the top of your NocodeBackend API documentation page. It’s typically https://api.nocodebackend.com/.

Instance Name

Your instance name is displayed in the API documentation title (e.g., “API documentation for 55834_example”). It’s also shown as the default value for the Instance parameter in your API docs.

Secret Key

  1. Log in to NocodeBackend 
  2. Navigate to your instance settings
  3. Find your Secret Key in the authentication section
  4. Copy the full key

Keep your secret key private. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

How Data Refreshes

Your published widget uses smart caching to balance performance with data freshness. You can choose between On widget load (default) or Real-time refresh modes.

For full details on how caching works and how to configure refresh modes, see Data Refresh.

Write Support

NocodeBackend supports write operations. If your widget template supports it (like form submissions), records can be created and updated directly in your NocodeBackend tables through the REST API.

Troubleshooting

Invalid secret key

Double-check that you’ve copied the full Secret Key from your NocodeBackend settings. Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the key.

No tables found

Make sure your instance has at least one table. If you recently created your instance, try adding a table in NocodeBackend before connecting.

Table not found error

If you see “Table doesn’t exist” after selecting a table, the table may have been deleted in NocodeBackend since you last connected. Try reconnecting to refresh the table list.

Failed to fetch data

Check your internet connection and try again. Make sure your API URL and Instance Name are correct. If the issue persists, get in touch.
