separate

Use CloudBase HTTP API to access CloudBase platform features (database, authentication, cloud functions, cloud hosting, cloud storage, AI) via HTTP protocol from backends or scripts that are not using SDKs.

When to use

• Non-Node backends (Go, Python, Java, PHP, etc.)
• Integration tests or admin scripts that use curl or language HTTP clients
• Direct database operations via MySQL RESTful API
• Cloud function invocation via HTTP
• Any scenario where SDKs are not available or not preferred
• Frontend Web apps using `@cloudbase/js-sdk` (use **CloudBase Web** skills)
• Node.js code using `@cloudbase/node-sdk` (use **CloudBase Node** skills)
• Authentication flows (use **CloudBase Auth HTTP API** skill for auth-specific endpoints)

When not to use

• Frontend Web apps using @cloudbase/js-sdk
• Node.js code using @cloudbase/node-sdk
• Authentication flows
