Guys me and my friend have just started making Bubble + API video series on Youtube.
We want to cover every single aspect of the API Connector so that there are no questions left for a Bubbler on how to connect to an API or how to read the API docs.
Would you mind checking it out and leave us a feedback?
You can also share individual requests/questions and we’ll try to cover’em all.
Nice video, simple overview of APIs. Look forward to the future ones. Hopefully, you’ll cover using Google Oauth2 API and how to handle the refresh token (keeping it alive via workflow, or some other means), as I’m working through that just now.
On the Oauth2 front for Google APIs, there is a good thread here that explains how to do it but the way he handles the refresh token is a bit clunky. If you look at the way Zeroqode does it for their plugin https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/google-calendar-+-offline-plugin they use some of the built-in functionality of Bubble + Google Playground to keep the refresh token alive (so no Bubble workflows required). Be interesting to compare approaches and which one is most reliable, flexible etc. (I’m currently doing it the 1st way but considering testing out the Zeroqode approach)
Interesting concept. I’ll look into this 100% when we get to Oauth2 sections of Authorizations. Probably next week. Please, follow our Youtube Page or me on Twitter to get updates.
Should we run a newsletter by the way? Would it be easier?
Now I can’t wait till we start doing all the cool stuff with API Connector.
Covering just API Connector basics is so boring but very essential at the same time…
Thanks for suggesting! We’re trying to cover Authentication methods and next ‘Chapter’ is all about All API methods & when to use them. We might use the API you suggested
