Create a simple REST API with zero coding in less than 30 seconds (seriously).

For developers that need a quick NodeJS backend for small projects.

No need for any coding, unless you want to opt-out of the defaults, or want to do more customization.

An OpenAPI specification is generated and enabled by default, providing interactive documentation and allowing you to generate client code from it.

Data is kept in memory, but you can also store it in a JSON file or MongoDB database.

Create your own Temba server instantly:

npx temba-cli create my-rest-api

This command will:

• Create a new folder called my-rest-api
• Install Temba as a dependency
• Generate a server.js file
• Automatically start your brand-new Temba API

You’ll see:

✅ Server listening on port 8362

Now you can send any HTTP request to any resource on localhost:8362 — and it just works.

Or head over to the interactive OpenAPI specification of your API in your browser at /openapi.
