Despite correct API Connector configuration and successful initialization for other buttons, the “Get data from an external API” option is missing for a specific "search button is clicked
i added a proof that the api is initialising a call and also the specific place where it not showing it as plug in or an option as data type
thanks for anyone who read this!!!
Can you show the API call itself so that we can help you better?
Feel free to hide the parameters and index URL.
Most likely, its not set as action, or maybe there was a problem while initializing it.
A tip, if possible, would be to get used to typing the option you want instead of using these folders. In my experience, it gets the job done faster one you’re in the flow
You need to set your call as action and not data and look for the name of the api directly in action list.
Actually, it’s the other way around. Once I changed it to an action, it worked in the sense that it was shown as a plugin. However, I want Bubble to process it as data because it’s supposedly easier for the workflow. Thank you so much for your help, Viktor.
thanks for it does appers now and uts amazing !!! the chat tells me i have to us as data in order to extract text data properly, do you agree?
What you show here is that you are looking to add an action.
But your call is set as of type “data”.
The data returned by your API will be available as an object INSIDE your actions.
To say it another way, to access your API data, you’ll need to create a thing, or display something of the appropriate type.
Here is an screenshot from my own app. This is where you’ll find your data.
you can use it as data, but a data source would not show up as an option in the workflow actions/steps. Setting it up as data, will only be available in data source fields like conditionals, parameters, and data types in groups/elements.
Like most new AIs, the current Bubble AI needs some work on accuracy. You’ll need to filter a bit
No I don’t.
How do you use it in workflow?
Let’s say you are doing the API call, and after do a Create a new thing. you can reference the data using Resul of step 1.
Get data is mostly to use in display like group or RG directly.
