Installation JsonDrop API
JsonDrop API requirements
JsonDrop API is built on Drupal 11 and is distributed as a self-contained package — no Composer setup required. This makes it fast to deploy, simple to configure, and lightweight enough to run even in constrained environments like shared hosting.
Minimum Requirements:
-
PHP: 8.3+
-
Database: MySQL, MariaDB

JsonDrop AI is designed to work even on shared hosting providers that support PHP and meet the Drupal 11 requirements. You can:
Upload via FTP/SSH or cPanel
You can use virtual server, shared hosting or local environment to install JsonDrop API. Unarchive files on server if it's possible or upload files with Filezilla with 10 threads or rsync files.
