Hosted API service from JS

Hi there guys - I’ve got a piece of JS code which I run in the browser console currently to split URLs based on some logic.

I’d like to host this using backendless’ api service. I’m not familiar with the service and can’t see any good examples of how to package code to upload it.

Are there any that you could please share that I and my developer could look at to help us understand the process please?

Thanks!
Rob
