A remote database, built on SQLite
Your project's state, wherever it runs.
A real SQLite database behind HTTPS — ACID transactions, full SQL, JSON and key/value. The engine that runs in every phone and browser, now reachable by your laptop, your CI, and anything that speaks HTTP.
What is live today: ephemeral databases, with the full SQL, key/value and Parquet paths. Replicated derived and source tiers are in progress and will open once a restore has been rehearsed end to end, not before.
SQL
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ https://api.takodb.com/v1/db/orders/sql \ -d '{"statements":[{"sql": "SELECT id, total FROM sales WHERE region = ?","params":["eu"]}]}' → 200 {"results":[{"rows":[ {"id":1,"total":42}, {"id":2,"total":17}]}]}
Key / Value
# set a typed key — int, text, blob, or JSON $ curl -X PUT "…/v1/db/app/kv/cursor" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -d '{"type":"json", "value":{"page":7,"done":false}}' $ curl "…/v1/db/app/kv/cursor" -H … → 200 {"key":"cursor","type":"json", "value":{"page":7,"done":false}}
Python
# no SDK: the standard library is enough import json import urllib.request url = "https://api.takodb.com/v1/db/orders/sql" body = {"statements": [{ "sql": "SELECT * FROM sales WHERE region = ?", "params": ["eu"]}], "format": "objects"} req = urllib.request.Request( url, data=json.dumps(body).encode(), headers={ "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}) with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as r: print(json.load(r)["results"][0]["rows"]) → [{'id': 1, 'region': 'eu', 'total': 42}, …]
Under the hood
It's SQLite, with the awkward parts handled
No new query language, no format to get locked into — just a real SQLite database, reached over HTTPS with a token instead of a file path. TakoDB takes care of the parts that are tedious to get right on your own: who gets in, keeping the service honest about its own limits, and moving bulk data as Parquet. Your schema and your queries stay yours.
