## cobalt api
cobalt has an open api that you can use in your projects *for free~*. it's easy and straightforward to use, [check out the docs](/docs/api.md) to learn how to use it.
✅ you can use the main api instance ([api.cobalt.tools](https://api.cobalt.tools/)) in your **personal** projects.
❌ you cannot use the free api commercially (anywhere that's gated behind paywalls or ads). host your own instance for this.
we reserve the right to restrict abusive/excessive access to the main instance api.
## how to run your own instance
if you want to run your own instance for whatever purpose, [follow this guide](/docs/run-an-instance.md).
it's *highly* recommended to use a docker compose method unless you run for developing/debugging purposes.
## partners
cobalt is sponsored by [royalehosting.net](https://royalehosting.net/?partner=cobalt), all main instances are currently hosted on their network :)

in a docker container, you also need to set the `API_LISTEN_ADDRESS` env to `127.0.0.1`, and set

# cobalt web
wip
the cobalt frontend is a static web app built with
[sveltekit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) + [vite](https://vitejs.dev/).
## configuring
- to run a dev environment, run `pnpm run dev`.
- to make a release build of the frontend, run `pnpm run build`.
## environment variables
the frontend has several build-time environment variables for configuring various features. to use
them, you must specify them when building the frontend (or running a vite server for development).
| name | example | description |
|:---------------------|:----------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `WEB_HOST` | `cobalt.tools` | domain on which the frontend will be running. used for meta tags and configuring plausible. |
| `WEB_PLAUSIBLE_HOST` | `plausible.io`* | enables plausible analytics with provided hostname as receiver backend. |
| `WEB_DEFAULT_API` | `https://api.cobalt.tools/` | changes url which is used for api requests by frontend clients. |
| `WEB_TURNSTILE_KEY` | `1x00000000000000000000AA` | [cloudflare turnstile](https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/) public key for antibot protection |
\* don't use plausible.io as receiver backend unless you paid for their cloud service.
use your own domain when hosting community edition of plausible. refer to their [docs](https://plausible.io/docs) when needed.
