Quick Start

How to use Arcsec and its key components for decentralized SQL database management.

Installation

Create a New Arcsec Database

  1. Visit the Arcsec Dashboard
  2. Click on "Create New Database"
  3. Follow the prompts to set up your decentralized SQL database, including:
    • Naming your database
    • Choosing storage options (IPFS or other supported networks)
  4. Upon creation head to the Database detail page by clicking on the "manage" button. There you will find details about your Arcsec Database, including the Arcsec Database ID and Arcsec API Key Management Board.

Obtain Arcsec Credentials

After creation, you'll receive an empty database, stored on IPFS (encrypted by default). You will be able to interact witht eh database straight away via the UI, but for programmatic access you will need to obtain your Arcsec API Key. Each databse is limited to three API keys.

Querying your Database

If you'd like to start interacting with your database right away, you can head to the "Query" tab on the dshbaord. Here you will be able to write SQL queries and interact with your database, as well as browse the data. See the operations guide for more details on what happens behind the scenes of the Query interface.

Using the Arcsec API

If you'd like to interact with your database programmatically, you can use the Arcsec API. See the API documentation for more details on what endpoints are available.
