Looking for simple HTTP service that allows me to do very basic string persistence

I am building a simple bot. The bot scrapes an RSS feed.
The only persistence I need is the date time of the most recent item on the RSS feed.
I dont want to have to spin up a DB.

What would be great is a service that allows something like the following
simple-storge.com/account-id?data=the-date-i-want-to-store

Anyone know of anything like this that exists?

Any help greatly appreciated.

    Unnecessary complicated.

    It's not only a writing to external service, it's also a calling/fetching that data for every date/time so you can show your rss data correctly, so you are slowing down the system until items are fetched. Depending of 3rd party for such a simple task is unreliable. They go out of business, you go out too.

    You don't need a full db for simple stuff like dates, make an sqlite to store dates, headlines or whatever. or JSON.
