Qujata
A lightweight, temporary data storage API
Current Records
What is Qujata?
Qujata is a simple REST API for temporary data storage. It allows you to create, read, update, and delete small pieces of data (up to 2,000 characters). The data is stored briefly and will expire after certain time limits.
This is perfect for prototypes, demos, or any scenario where you need a quick, short-lived storage solution without a full-fledged database setup or user registration.
Key Features
- Easy to Use: No authentication required, just simple HTTP requests.
- Data Limits: Each record can store up to 2,000 characters.
- Time-Based Expiration: Data expires after two conditions:
- 60 minutes after creation – Hard limit.
- 20 minutes of inactivity – If no CRUD operation happens within 20 minutes.
- Remaining Time: Responses include an
X-Ttl
header, showing how many milliseconds remain until the record is deleted.

Additional Notes
Data Expiration: Once data reaches either the inactivity limit (20 min without operations) or absolute limit (60 minutes since creation), it's automatically deleted. This ensures that Qujata's storage remains fresh and uncluttered.
Inspect Endpoint: For debugging or administrative purposes, GET /api/inspect
returns all current records. Use this carefully and consider limiting access in production.
- Prototyping: Quickly store temporary data without setting up a full database.
- Testing: Save test data during development or CI processes.
- Education: Teach CRUD operations without complexity.
