The Manager

As a developer looking for using mrest, you will use the Manager available at https://manager.mrest.io to manage the service.

For instance the Manager allows you:

• activating the free subscription
• purchasing paid subscriptions
• setting up data resources
• managing users and security policies
• and more

The following screenshot shows the Datalet management page. The left side menu shows the different features that can be configured.

The API

Once you have activated a subscription and configured your service, mrest exposes an API that can be used by your Clients.

The API has its own URL such as https://beta.mrest.io/demo

For example the documents of the messages collection can be retrieved via the following HTTP request:

$ curl --header "key:demo" https://beta.mrest.io/demo/messages

Open Stack

mrest is built on the best open source stack. No secrets, it comprises RESTHeart and MongoDB and runs on a secure and highly scalable infrastructure on AWS.

Cloud services usually lock you in. Your application might grow with hard dependencies on external providers. mrest is open and does not put any constraint on your application.
