Overview
echoValue is a set of lightweight backend utilities designed for freelancers and small projects. No server setup, no infrastructure to manage — just a token and an HTTP call.
It provides a small set of focused HTTP utilities for storage, webhooks, DNS inspection, URL metadata, caller-IP lookup, logs, and wallet management.
- Store small state with the Key-Value Store
- Receive email or run cron-style callbacks with Webhooks
- Inspect DNS, URLs, and caller IPs with Utilities
- Track credits and calls with Token Management and Logs
echoValue is API-first. If you prefer a browser interface for common operations, you can also use the optional dashboard at dash.echovalue.dev.
Quick Start
Section titled “Quick Start”1. Generate a token (free, includes 100 credits):
curl 'https://api.echovalue.dev/token' -d 'token=new'# → a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0...2a. Store and retrieve a value:
curl 'https://api.echovalue.dev/kv/default/mykey' \ -H 'x-token: YOUR_TOKEN' \ -d 'hello world'# → OK
curl 'https://api.echovalue.dev/kv/default/mykey' \ -H 'x-token: YOUR_TOKEN'# → hello world2b. Or configure an email-to-webhook bridge:
curl 'https://api.echovalue.dev/webhook' \ -H 'x-token: YOUR_TOKEN' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"webhookId":"default","url":"https://yourdomain.com/webhook"}'# → {"webhookId":"default","webhook":"https://yourdomain.com/webhook","email":"r_abcd1234@hook.echovalue.dev",...}# Emails sent to the returned mailbox address now POST to your URLServices
