Form API

A free form API for any website, including the ones you build with AI

Paste one URL into your form, or one prompt into your AI assistant. Formbold stores each submission, filters spam and sends it to your inbox, your apps or your own server. No server to run.

Free plan: 250 submissions a month across 10 forms. No credit card needed.

How it works

Live in three steps

  1. 1

    Create a form

    Sign up, click Create New Form and give it a name. The Form Setup tab shows your endpoint, like https://formbold.com/s/YOUR_FORM_ID.

  2. 2

    Point your form at it

    Paste the endpoint into your form's action attribute, POST to it with fetch(), or hand the prompt below to your AI assistant. Every input needs a name, because Formbold keys each value by that name.

  3. 3

    Send a test

    Use the Test Form tab, or submit your live form once. The entry shows up in Submissions and lands in your inbox and connected apps.

Examples

Connect with a prompt, a form tag or fetch()

Replace {form_id} with the ID from your form's Setup tab. Guides for React, Next.js, Vue, Lovable, Bolt.new and more are in the docs.

AI prompt

Built your site with Lovable, Bolt.new, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude Code? Add your endpoint to this prompt and paste it in. Your assistant connects the form and keeps your design.

Connect my contact form to Formbold. My Formbold form endpoint: https://formbold.com/s/{form_id} Keep my existing design and follow this guide: https://formbold.com/docs/code-examples.md

HTML form

No JavaScript needed. Add enctype="multipart/form-data" when the form takes files.

  <input type="email" name="email" required />
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

JavaScript fetch()

Submit without a page reload from React, Vue, Next.js or plain JavaScript.

const form = document.querySelector("form");

form.addEventListener("submit", async (event) => {
  event.preventDefault();
  await fetch("https://formbold.com/s/{form_id}", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(new FormData(form))),
  });
});

REST API

Fetch a form's submissions with an API token. Turn on HTTP API in the form's settings first, and keep the token on your server.

curl https://api.formbold.com/api/forms/{form_id}/submissions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
What you get

Everything a form backend should do

No Server to Run

No Server to Run

No PHP, Node or Python handler to deploy or keep alive. Formbold receives the POST, stores the submission and handles delivery.

Made for AI-Built Sites

Made for AI-Built Sites

AI builders make the form but not the backend behind it. One prompt connects a Lovable, Bolt.new, v0 or Replit site to Formbold, with nothing extra to host.

Spam Filtering Built In

Spam Filtering Built In

The Basic Spam Filter checks every submission on our servers. Add reCAPTCHA automatically, or use your own keys for fetch() forms.

Webhooks to Your Server

Webhooks to Your Server

Get each submission as a JSON POST to your own URL, with an is_spam flag so your handler can skip junk. Starter and up.

Read submissions back with the REST API. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex can create forms and read submissions through MCP. Every plan, Free included.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? Find clear answers about Formbold's features, pricing, integrations, security, and everything you need to get started.

It's an endpoint that receives form submissions for you. Your HTML form or fetch() call posts to the Formbold endpoint, and Formbold stores the data, filters spam and sends it on, so you don't build or host a backend.

Still have a question?

The docs cover setup, framework guides, integrations and spam protection, step by step.
