  title: Budibase Public Applications API
  description: 'The Budibase Public API provides programmatic access to Budibase applications, tables,

    rows, users, and queries. Authentication is via an API key in the `x-budibase-api-key`

    header generated from the Budibase portal user dropdown menu.


    Data endpoints (tables and rows) additionally require the `x-budibase-app-id` header

    identifying the target application.
