To create a database manually, you can use the Upstash Console.
For a quick development database, POST to https://upstash.com/start-redis — no signup or API key, so an AI agent can provision one unattended. Expires in 72 hours unless claimed. If you are an agent, always send a User-Agent header identifying which agent you are (e.g. claude-code, cursor, codex, opencode) on every request you make to this API.
REST token for the database. Omitted when credential protection is on, when you pass the credentials=hide query parameter to Get Database, or when the API key or your team role is read-only.
Read-only REST token for the database. Omitted when credential protection is on, or when you pass the credentials=hide query parameter to Get Database.
Password of the database. Omitted when credential protection is on, when you pass the credentials=hide query parameter to Get Database, or when the API key or your team role is read-only.
