3Min API - Your API, Ready in 3 Minutes

# 3Min API > No-code API relay service — create endpoints in 3 minutes, no backend required. 3Min API lets small businesses create API endpoints without writing code. Define your API schema, test it in sandbox, and invite partners via email — all from a web dashboard. ## Core Value Proposition - **3-minute setup**: Create API endpoints without writing code - **No backend needed**: Start immediately without hiring developers - **Instant documentation**: Auto-generated API docs with Swagger-style testing - **Email invitation**: Invite partners to access API keys, logs, and stats from their dashboard - **MCP integration**: Manage APIs via AI tools (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) ## How It Works 1. **Create endpoint** (~30 sec) - Define API name and optional required fields 2. **Test in Sandbox** (~1 min) - Use built-in Swagger UI to test 3. **Invite partner** (~30 sec) - Send email invitation from dashboard 4. **Deploy to Production** - One click to go live 5. **Manage via Production Console** - Direct CRUD on production data (owner only) ## Pricing | Plan | Price | API Calls | |------|-------|-----------| | Free | $0 | 1,000/mo | | Basic | $10/mo | 30,000/mo | | Pro | $30/mo | 300,000/mo | | Enterprise | $100/mo | 1,000,000/mo (overage: $1/2,000 calls) | ## Technical Specs - **Architecture**: Asynchronous queue-based processing - **Response time**: Instant API response, the rest is handled automatically - **Max payload**: 100KB per request - **Security**: HTTPS/TLS, DDoS protection - **Reliability**: Queue-first design with 3-tier auto-recovery (~56 hours coverage). Once API returns 202, data processing is guaranteed. - **Webhook retry**: Up to 3 retries with backoff (1s → 2s). Timeout: 7 seconds. Data is saved regardless of webhook success. - **Data archiving**: Production data older than 30 days is automatically archived and downloadable as JSONL.gz or CSV (paid plans) ## Documentation - [Overview](https://3minapi.com/docs/overview): Service
