Hello everyone! My name is Peter, and I am a software engineering intern here at Bubble. Users have asked for the ability to allow API Workflows to be triggered via GET request instead of the usual POST request for a while now. A powerful use case for building logic around a GET request would be in…

@grace.hong : First of all, great relief to have the ability to take GET calls! Thanks! Your comment on periods is somewhat fair (somewhat because the consideration stems from a legacy and there is a pattern of people moving away from it). See @aestela 's comment. Regardless, could we quickly get t…

@grace.hong - Filed a bug report for this. Got told this is a “new feature”. I respectfully but strongly disagree. This is definitely a “bug” and you should prioritize fixing this accordingly. The bubble API connector is already parsing the parameters of the incoming webhook or API request. Getting …

@aestela Had to set up a Node script on my server to handle the requests to then initiate a new request with UNDERSCORE sent to Bubble’s servers. Far from ideal. There is precedent for (.) uses in other requests within Bubble’s REST tools, so I really don’t understand the dev’s choice in this regard…

@grace.hong and @emmanuel - What I find not-a-little-triggering is what seems to be ideological resistance to doing something simple that is also established practice (PHP already does this).

Hi there - definitely appreciate everyone chiming in on this feature and providing more context on the problems they’re facing. We are aiming to prioritize adding this capability sometime in our next sprint. Just to explain a bit further, we can’t immediately act on every new feature request due to …

Thank you for the response. When could we know whether this is being included in your next sprint? Assuming you have a 2-week sprint schedule and that we are in the middle of your current sprint, am I right in thinking you’re targeting 8 Jul? For more context as you may not be aware of this - What…

Of course, we currently have this ticket tagged onto our current sprint which ends at the end of June, but it’s also dependent on other priorities that may appear and take precedence over this feature. Nonetheless, I will definitely send out an update on this forum thread once it is launched!

Hi all - just released an experimental feature allowing you to enter periods in your API workflow keys!
