API connection not working in workflow. "Issue with the call. Please initialize it again"

Hi all,

I am working on connecting a RapidAPI Booking / hotels API to my app.
I created a key for the Booking API, loaded the cURL in the API connector (screenshot 1) and intialized the call.
Viewing the output in shows a correct response (screenshot 2).
However, when I implement the same API call in my workflow (even as a first step in a new event) it’s throwing an error on frontend whatever I do (screenshot 3).
Screen 4 is the workflow, pretty straightforward and there are no other options. I tried populating the Destination, keeping it empty and use the placeholder value in the API connector, etc, but none seems to give a succesful response.

Do you know as to why this happens? I’m clueless. Perhaps it helps to see the call and response from the API, but i dont know how to see these.

@jordinho why no use the api as a data instead of an action? and see if this would solve the issue.

Hi @iwakinomotoye ,
I need it as action because im using it in a workflow. else the API wont be visible

Do you have more information on the issue?
Did you check your logs details?

@j24 @Jici for some reason after retrying few times and refreshing my browser, it finally showed up. Looks more like a Bubble bug to me.
Thanks
