Links on apiboo.dev
An address like https://k7f2xqbnzd.apiboo.dev is a share link: a website running on one person’s own computer, made reachable for a while through Apiboo.
What a share link is
Developers who use the Apiboo desktop app can start their project’s dev server and share it with one click. Apiboo gives it a random address under apiboo.dev and passes every visit through our servers to that person’s computer, the way tools like ngrok do.
So the page you see comes from their machine, not from Apiboo. We don’t host it and we don’t check what it shows. A link only works while the person keeps sharing: it ends when they stop, when they close the app, and after 8 hours at the latest.
Who can create one
Share is part of the Pro and Team plans. Every link belongs to a signed-in Apiboo account, so we know whose computer it leads to.
- Pro: 1 link at a time, 5 GB of traffic a month, uploads up to 10 MB per request.
- Team: 3 links at a time per member, 20 GB a month per member, uploads up to 25 MB per request.
- Free and Basic: No share links. Run and preview work on every plan.
Run, preview, share
Share
Turn the running server into a public https link and send it to a client or a teammate. You see every request in the app and stop sharing with one click.
If someone sent you a link
Treat a share link like any link from a person: it is only as trustworthy as whoever sent it.
- The first time you open a link, Apiboo shows a warning page. That is on purpose. It tells you the site comes from someone’s computer, and it has a button to report the link.
- Only continue if you know and trust the person who sent it.
- Never enter passwords, login details or payment details on an apiboo.dev page. Apiboo never asks for your Apiboo password there, and no bank, shop or big service runs its login on apiboo.dev.
- A page that asks you to sign in to Apiboo, Google, Microsoft, your bank or anything similar is phishing. Close it and report it.
- Don’t download and open files from a share link unless you were expecting them.
- Links don’t last. If one stops working, the person stopped sharing, and nothing is wrong on your side.
Report a link
Seen phishing, malware or anything else that shouldn’t be there? Tell us. A person reads every report. We can switch a link off at once and suspend sharing for the account behind it.
Want to send a formal notice of illegal content under the Digital Services Act, with a confirmation and our decision by email? Use the report form for illegal content. It goes to the same team.
