<p>This public workspace has all the APIs you need to interact with Anvil and automate all of your paperwork needs. If at any point you need more information, check out our docs at <a href="https://www.useanvil.com/docs/">https://www.useanvil.com/docs/</a> or email support at <a href="mailto:support@useanvil.com">support@useanvil.com</a></p>
<h2>About Anvil API</h2>
<p>The Anvil API is a comprehensive set of tools and functions that allow developers to build web applications entirely in Python. It provides a unique approach to web development by eliminating the need for HTML, JavaScript, or CSS knowledge. The API encompasses various aspects of web app creation, including user interface design, client-side and server-side programming, data storage, and deployment. </p>
<p>Anvil's API is designed to be intuitive and accessible, featuring built-in autocomplete functionality in the Anvil Editor. This feature enhances discoverability, allowing developers to explore API options directly while coding. The API covers a wide range of functionalities, from basic UI components to advanced features like user authentication, email integration, and external service connections (e.g., Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stripe). </p>
<p>The API is structured to support Anvil's app architecture, which typically consists of a user interface created with a drag-and-drop designer, client-side Python code running in the browser, server-side Python code executing on Anvil's servers, and a built-in database system called Data Tables. Additionally, the API facilitates features like one-click deployment, version control, and the ability to expose and consume HTTP APIs, making it a versatile tool for both beginners and experienced developers.</p>

            <li>The left panel contains the App Browser and Component Palette.</li>
            <li>The center area is your main workspace for designing forms and writing code.</li>
            <li>The right panel shows properties of selected components.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Design your user interface:<ul>
            <li>Drag and drop components from the Component Palette onto your form.</li>
            <li>Adjust component properties in the right panel.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Write client-side code:<ul>
            <li>Switch to "Code View" in the Form Editor.</li>
            <li>Use the autocompleter to explore available methods and properties.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Add server-side functionality:<ul>
            <li>Create a new "Server Module" in the App Browser.</li>
            <li>Write Python functions decorated with @anvil.server.callable.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Use Data Tables for data storage:<ul>
            <li>Create tables in the "Data Tables" section of the App Browser.</li>
            <li>Use anvil tables API to interact with your data.</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Test your app by clicking the "Run" button at the top of the editor.</li>
