HMAC Authentication in Bubble API Connector

Need help APIs
1

Hi all.

Been trying to connect the Recombee REST API to Bubble via the API connector for the past day, and I’ve been having issues with authentication.

Recombee API uses HMAC SHA-1 authentication and requires a timestamp and signature to be sent with every API call. All I want to do is initialize the call to start implementing Recombee recommendations into my app, but this has proved to be much harder than initially expected.

Here are some screenshots of documentation and the API connector to show you where I’m at.

They also provide SDKs for multiple coding languages, and if anyone can think of a low-code alternative to using the REST API that would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Bumping this because I still haven’t heard from Recombee support team.

Will update if there’s any response from them, but in the meantime would love to hear any of your ideas/recommendations.

Personnaly, I always create a plugin to create the signature and use API Connector to make the call with the result of the signature.

Thanks for the response, it’s great to hear that you’ve got it to work before.

Any chance you could send an example of how the custom plugin would be built, or any resources I could look into to get that up and running for my situation?

Thanks again
