Changelog May 16, 2025 - Neon

We're excited to announce the Neon Data API, now available in Early Access! Instantly turn your Neon Postgres database into a REST API. No backend required. Query tables, views, and functions right from your client app using standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE), powered by PostgREST.

What can you do with the Neon Data API?

• Query your database from any client using HTTP or PostgREST-compatible SDKs (postgrest-js, postgrest-py, postgrest-go)
• Secure your API with Neon Auth or your own JWKS

Once enabled, you'll get a unique API endpoint for your project. Here's how you might query your data from postgrest-js:

const { data, error } = await postgrest
  .from('notes')
  .select('id, title, created_at, owner_id, shared')
  .eq('owner_id', user.id)
  .order('created_at', { ascending: false });

Want to try it?

The Data API is in Early Access and requires an invite. Message us from the Console or on Discord and we'll get you set up.

Learn more in our getting started guide.

We’ve launched a new Neon credit system in the console that we'll use for promotions, referrals, and goodwill. To test the new system, we're offering a $20.00 credit to Free plan users who upgrade to a paid Neon plan.

Claim your $20 credit

The credit will appear at the top of the Neon console and is automatically applied to your account when you upgrade.
