Can I use a form API without signing up?

Updated March 2026

Yes. No account, no email, no credit card.

Send POST /api/trial. No auth, no body needed. You get back an API key and a claimUrl. The key works immediately with free-tier limits: 10 projects (forms, pages, and dashboards combined), 500 submissions per form, 1 webhook. Everything works except CSV export and upsert. Unclaimed accounts auto-delete after 24 hours -- visit the claimUrl in a browser to sign in and keep your data.

The trial is rate-limited to 5 keys per 24 hours per IP. Enough for legitimate evaluation, not enough for abuse.

Once you have a key, every API endpoint and MCP tool works. Create forms, submit data, read submissions, build dashboards, configure webhooks. Same as a paid plan, lower quotas.

The trial key creates a provisional account. Visit the claimUrl to sign in with GitHub or Google and claim it permanently. If you don't claim within 24 hours, the account and its data are deleted.

For AI agents, this is useful. An agent can call POST /api/trial, get a key, and start creating forms and collecting data immediately. No human needed in the loop. Good for demos, proof-of-concepts, automated testing.

The trial key works with the MCP server too. Configure your MCP client with the key, and the agent has all 48 tools immediately.

If unclaimed, the account is deleted after 24 hours. Claim it to keep your data and upgrade to a paid plan when you're ready.
