APIBASE 5.0

Address Data Directly

Stop querying data. Start addressing it. Every piece of data has a coordinate: Table, Line, Column.

No query planner. No overhead. Deterministic storage with secure cross-access through Hive.

Why APIBASE

Three reasons developers switch and don't look back.

Concrete advantages. No detours.

Any dev, any language, productive in 20 minutes.

All you need is an HTTP client and a bearer token. The same URL you test in Postman is the URL in production.

The only data platform an AI agent can query without hallucinating.

TLC addresses are deterministic and enumerable. The agent either finds a valid coordinate or returns an error — never a guess.

Complexity is distributed and readable — not concentrated in an 80-line query that only its author understands.

Each API call is atomic and debuggable. When something fails, you know exactly which call, which table, which column.

The Coordinate Model

T · L · C — Table, Line, Column.

Every piece of data in APIBASE has a deterministic address. Not a query. Not a path. A coordinate.

T
Table

A numbered, structured table within a BASE. Each table has an immutable integer ID assigned at creation. T=12 is always the same table — forever.

L
Line

A row within the table, also identified by an immutable integer. L=3 points to the same record regardless of sort order or surrounding data.

C
Column

A column within the table, identified by an immutable integer ID assigned at creation. C=5 always refers to the same column — regardless of position or rename. Combined with T and L, the address is unique, stable, and unambiguous.

NQL resolves TLC for you.

Natural Query Language translates plain-language instructions into deterministic TLC operations. "Set Jean Tremblay's status to inactive" becomes a PUT /hive/put_cell to the exact T·L·C address — ACL-checked before execution. The user never sees a coordinate. The system never guesses one.

Vision & Philosophy

Understand why APIBASE moves from search logic to direct addressing, and why that changes the way applications interact with data.

Enterprise Architecture

Scale with isolated BASES, Hive Gateway routing, scoped access control, and file-native lifecycles that stay understandable.

View Architecture →
Deterministic

Data is stored in structured files under your control, without hidden query planners or opaque runtime layers.

Isolated

Each BASE defines a private, owned, and versionable data domain with explicit structure and lifecycle.

Connected

Hive enables secure cross-access between domains without merging storage or breaking isolation.
