expo-api-routes

Developer Tools

Gives your agent the ability to create and manage server-side API routes in Expo Router, enabling secure database operations and third-party API proxies.

When to use

When you need to hide server-side secrets like API keys from the client
When you need to perform direct database queries or heavy computations
When you want to set up webhook endpoints for services like Stripe or GitHub

How to use

1
Create API routes in the 'app/api' directory with the '+api.ts' suffix
2
Export named functions for each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
3
Use process.env for server-side secrets and configure them in EAS Hosting
4
Deploy your routes to EAS Hosting using the 'eas deploy' command

Example conversation

case

You

I need an API route in my Expo app that securely calls OpenAI and doesn't expose my API key.

Agent

I'll create an 'app/api/ai+api.ts' route for you. I'll implement a POST handler that retrieves your OpenAI key from 'process.env' on the server, proxies the request to the OpenAI API, and returns the response to your client. This ensures your key stays secure on EAS Hosting and never reaches the user's device.
