0CodeKit Complete Handbook

0CodeKit Complete Handbook

Welcome to the Complete Handbook of 0CodeKit, your guide to knowing all about the development tools and methods. This guide focuses on the features of account management, credit usage tracking, and key features of our product. Most importantly, find out the three development methods with 0CodeKit, such as HTTP requests, as well as compatibility with well-known automation tools.  

Overview of the features in our platform

Account information

Under this section, the basic and important information includes the subscription plans, profile details, API key, number of credits, and other account information.  

  • Pricing plans are possible with a subscription to enable users to choose the option that best fits their development capacity, whether they are sole practitioners or are working in teams.  
  • The account information section provides an option to edit some of the personal details, including the email (used as the login name), or change the password.  
  • The API key, the core singular element of our platform, enables the usage of 0CodeKit endpoints on different third-party applications.  
    Important Note: Because your API key is unique and personal, it should not be shared with anyone, including the developers of 0CodeKit.  
  • The credit overview panel shows the number of executions available in your subscription plan and gives a graphic depiction of the remaining credits.

Usage table and chart

We also provide our members with handy usage tables and charts to make tracking credits easy. This table gives the targeted time of credit usage in your account and lists the account's activity, giving you the power to organise and plan the development projects.  

On the other hand, the usage chart makes it possible for you to monitor endpoint utilisation and identify interactions with third-party applications briefly. Thus, the y-axis is for the maximum occurrences of endpoints, and the x-axis is for the types of endpoints used. The bars give a clear picture of how often each endpoint happened, useful in analysing your usage pattern.

Code editor  

Leave in the past those days of fighting with plain text boxes and poor functionality. Syntax highlighting, variable colourisation, and the capability to detect errors are some features that our code editor has to offer. In addition, using AI, coding assistance is provided so that even a first-time programmer can write and create JavaScript code. To learn more about what else our code editor has in store for you, you can refer to this blog post.  

Light, dark, and system modes  

Make your development environment truly yours with our adaptive colour modes. 0CodeKit now provides some options that allow users to customise their environment with the colours that they like: light, dark, or system default.  

Chatbot assistance  

Do you need quick help, or do you have any questions? We've now implemented a chatbot on our website that gives quick responses to our users and directs them to our team. You are free to ask any questions, and our 24\7 chatbot is always ready to help and guide you accordingly.  

Three possible ways of development with 0CodeKit  

HTTP request on API tools

This raw approach allows developers to communicate directly with web APIs, which enriches the later stages of testing and integration. With 0CodeKit’s API Key, the request can be authorised and confirmed.  

Integration with automation platforms  

Connecting 0CodeKit to other prominent automation tools like Make, Zapier, or n8n extends the functionalities of 0CodeKit. The process is straightforward: users must create a new module in the selected platform and then build a connection with 0CodeKit. After this integration, the users get several functions offered by 0CodeKit into their hands. In a previous blog, we've a step-by-step guide about linking 0CodeKit with n8n, you can check it out here.  

However, before doing anything, the user first needs to connect their 0CodeKit account with the third-party service, which in this case, is done through the API key provided by 0CodeKit. As mentioned, the third-party platforms make calls to 0CodeKit to check the authenticity of the API key inputted. Once the validation is complete, 0CodeKit users can access the functionality as soon as possible.  

What is also important to mention is that when working with any third-party application and performing automations, the users utilise the credit based on the kind of endpoint selected. In the case of a security breach or the API key being exposed to unauthorised access, users can request a new API key. However, this means the users need to reauthorise connections on third-party platforms and configure new links with the new API key.  

HTTP request module with automation platforms  

As with the newly published endpoints, which are not yet on the interfaces of third parties, it is possible to use an HTTP request module. It is necessary to set the HTTP module to work with 0CodeKit’s URL and API key to enable the execution of the custom endpoints. This makes it easier to have the full functionalities of 0CodeKit on any platform, even if there are no standard plugins for it.
