FAQ

What exactly is ArrayList.org?

ArrayList is a simple list database in the cloud. You can use it for storing things like form submissions, email-subscription forms or make a AJAX/REST call to store values in the list.

You don’t need to setup a database for such simple storage requirements.

One good UseCase is email-subscribers list.

Imagine you have a simple static website with an email-subscription option. You can set the HTML Form Action value to List URL to store all form submissions.

How to use ArrayList with Form Submision?

<form method="post" action="https://**api.arraylist.org/add/{list-id}**">
  <input type="text" name="email">
  <input type="submit" value="Subscribe">
</form>

How to save using GET?

• For single value submission you can directly pass value as follows

https://**api.arraylist.org/add/{list-id}**/**{VALUE}**

• For passing multiple values using GET you can use

https://**api.arraylist.org/add/{list-id}?lastname=Bose&firstname=Satyendra&field=physics**

How to save using POST ?

• You can use REST call to post. For example:..

// Using Axios
axios.post('<https://api.arraylist.org/add/{list-id}>', {
  firstName: 'Bose',
  lastName: 'Satyendra',
  field: 'Physics'
});

Most important point.

• Store the generated private-list url, if you loose it, there is no way to retrieve it.

How many list items can each list store?

• Each List can store upto 1000 points
