Automate your backups with our API and triggers
Backup API
The SimpleBackups API empowers developers and teams to integrate backup operations into their existing workflows and applications. With this API, you can programmatically manage all aspects of your backup processes, including initiating backups, monitoring their status, and handling restorations.

Backup trigger via URL
The backup Trigger URL is a unique URL for every backup you have that can be used to run that backup immediately with without having to log in to SimpleBackups.
Example use cases:
- Give your client or another developer a URL they can use to run that backup.
- Run your backup on a custom interval, let's say every X minutes/hours.
- Run your backup before you deploy a new version of your app.
- Run your backup on-demand using a single URL when needed.
How to use the Backup Trigger URL?
- Create a backup on SimpleBackups.
- View the newly created backup or an already existing backup (
https://my.simplebackups.com/backup/BACKUP_ID#advanced).
- Under the Backup Trigger URL you will find a URL that you can use in a cURL function, a Zapier integration, cron, deploy script, share it with a developer, or use it to run your backup on-demand.
