THE BEST tutorial on API's I've seen! It has helped me tremendously with understanding how apis connect and their purpose. Newbies can really get this!

[@janpienaar989]

Thank you so much for providing such an excellent video about APIs and Bubble. Your clear explanations and practical examples made it easy for me to understand the concepts and start implementing them in my own projects. Your passion for the topic is evident and it definitely comes through in your video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into creating such high-quality content. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Jacob, looking forward to the next one!!

Hi. U said in ur video u don't know the reason why bubble allows you to switch from data to action. I don't know exactly why....but I can tell you how I use those two functions. I use data setup when I use an API GET function so I can display on my side the data I am getting from the API and I use the ACTION setup when I need to use API POST function to send data to the API...so I trigger it in the workflow. I hope this helps someone. Great video tutorial!

Hi Guys! Trying to get dynamic input working for the API connector - it works for JSON or Raw, but I can’t seem to get it working for the Form-Data Body type.

[@edakarajillo]

Great playlist!!! You seem an expert dealing with Jason and apis en Bubble. I'm in trouble Putting in a same repeating group nested JSON output from APIs. For example using this same API of cards, if I'd like to built a simple 4 column table with the following columns: Deck_id, code, image, value Note that the key "deck_id" has another key along that it give details about the "deck_id" key which it has an array with the "code", "images" and "value" values, then the table in the column "deck_id" is going to have the same value repeated as many rows this array values has inside. I'm hitting my head against the wall to achieve it for an invoices JSON, the number of invoice as the "desk_id" has along an another key that it is an array with the items sold of that invoice. The goal is achieve the following structure in the table or repeating group. Invoice 1, item a, price Invoice 1, item b, price Invoice 1, item c, price Invoice 2, item a, price Invoice 2, item b, price In the current video's JSON would be Deck_id #1 , code a, image a, value a Deck_id #1 , code b, image b, value b Deck_id #1 , code c, image c, value c Deck_id #2 , code a, image a, value a Deck_id #3 , code b, image b, value b I will appreciate a lot of you can clear this point which doesn't found info in all web.

Hey Edisson! Glad you're enjoying the playlist. This would be a great question to post in the Bubble forum with some screenshots from your editor so others can see what might be going on.

Data and Actions got cleared with your video Thanks mate. I still have one more query though about the performance. When I click a button, I get a performance warning. Workflows on this page have downloaded more than 3 megabytes. It took 01:17:06 - so I guess because of that but I only have two input field (multi-line and slider) to satisfy the API input. How do you resolve this situation?

[@sanandresano01]

you are the best bubble youtuber. can you make the videos 1080p

[@jacobgershkovich]

Haha thanks! That's so nice of you to say. I'm saving up to purchase a nice camera and office setup for filming. My videos will look much better in a couple of months ;)

[@thefleming1830]

Hi Jacob, i recently found your channel. I have a question regarding APIs and have been searching the internet for an answer. Perhaps i'm simply overthinking it but i want to do it the correct way. If i, for example, use TMDb api to display movies and have additional data about those movies in my bubble cms. How can i make it so that whenever someone looks up Titanic, data from TMDb and my own data of Titanic gets displayed?

[@BadChaker]

Thx for the video, I am working on an own project and I think with the parameter you can even dynamically change the host of the API endpoint, right?

[@jacobgershkovich]

Not sure I understand the question?

[@BadChaker]

@@jacobgershkovich when you setup the API in the backend, you use placeholders for parameters in the url. My idea is to use the placeholder also for the host name/server of the API call. the endpoint is the same but I need to get the data from sale „service“ but different server.

[@janerinhaalphonso1518]

Hey can u tell me how to retrieve data from api call to a graph

[@jacobgershkovich]

Yup, if you take the concepts learned in this video and watch this video where I talk about charts, you should have all you need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6usm4yYbr6Sqtk

[@pratimadudhewar3680]

Hello.. I want to create the object of API dta type and then merge earlier API response with newly created object and set it to the RG. How can i achieve this?

[@jacobgershkovich]

Check out my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anSoY2SOo5yZnas I think that's what you're talking about?

[@istrepofficial]

yes all of this fails when it come to blockchain. yes it refused to change [para] ...
