Val Town

Val Town is a social coding platform where JavaScript and TypeScript programs called "vals" run instantly as HTTP endpoints, scheduled cron jobs, or email handlers without any infrastructure setup. It targets developers who want to write and deploy small server-side scripts and APIs directly in the browser. Val Town exposes a versioned REST API (v1, v2, v3) at api.val.town covering vals management, blob storage, SQLite databases, email sending, telemetry, and OAuth connections to third-party services. A TypeScript SDK (@valtown/sdk) is autogenerated from the published OpenAPI spec, and a hosted MCP server enables LLM-native integrations.

Val Town publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including alias API, blobs API, connections API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Developer Tools, Serverless, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Social Coding.

The Val Town catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Val Town’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 13 more developer resources.
