# Ikiform

> Ikiform is the backend for every form: point any HTML form, framework form, SDK call or server request at one endpoint and Ikiform validates, filters spam, stores, emails and delivers signed webhooks.

Submissions are posted to `https://ikiform.com/f/<formId>` as urlencoded, multipart or JSON. Code samples use the sample form id `frm_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`; replace it with a real form id from the dashboard. The REST API lives at `https://ikiform.com/api/v1` and needs a secret key. The TypeScript SDK is `@ikiform/sdk`. Every page below is plain markdown; the full set is concatenated at https://ikiform.com/llms-full.txt.
