Connecting SAP B1 through API Connector

Need help APIs
1

Hi, I just recently stumbled over Bubble and love every bit of it so far!
I have a bit of past experience with web development and I like to dive straight in, so I set out to build a business app for my company that I’d like to pull certain data from SAP Business One.

I couldn’t find a lot of detail information on this topic in regard to SAP and there’s only one post on this forum that mentions SAP where it’s just suggested to do a connection using the bubble API connector.

The SAP B1 Api is the so called “Service Layer”. Basically a web server that handles incoming OData based HTTP requests.

This is how the architecture looks like:

So here’s the issue:
I’ve got the relevant technical documentation from SAP, but I don’t really know where to start within Bubble. Since I’ve never really worked with API calls, there’s obviously a lot to cover and I’m willing to put in the time required to learn stuff and share findings.
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction of how to approach this problem and if possible link relevant learning ressources etc.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hi Sandro,

did you manage to connect B1 to a bubble app?

Looking forward to use B1 in the near future and have the same question like you.

Hey Swen,

unfortunately no, we didn’t use Bubble to solve the problem we had at that moment.
But I imagine you would better off doing this through a codeless or low code backend platform such as Backendless or Xeno, and then connect those to a front facing platform such as Bubble.
I even found a tutorial on how to connect backendless to bubble (link below), though you still have to figure out how to connect SAP b1 via Rest to the backend. Unfortunately useful resources on B1 are quite scarce…

If it works out for you though, would appreciate if you’d let me know.
Best of luck!

Hi @SandroBach Did you already find anything else about this?

Best Regards.

Has anyone had any success connecting to SAP. I have a similar project coming up.

I faced a similar challenge during my SAP C_HAMOD_2404 exam preparation. Working with APIs in Bubble can feel tough at first, especially if you’re new to it. I also had SAP technical docs but wasn’t sure where to begin. One thing that helped was using the API Connector plugin in Bubble — it lets you connect to external APIs like SAP with some setup.

Start by testing simple GET requests using tools like Postman, then bring them into Bubble. Focus on understanding SAP’s authentication flow — most of the time, it’s OAuth2.

I found many such real-world scenarios in Pass4Future SAP practice material. It helped me learn step-by-step and made things less overwhelming. If you are just starting out, break it into small parts — test, learn, repeat.
