How Do I Retrieve the Body of a RESTful API call into Bubble?

Need help APIs
#1

Hi,

So close here. My API is working flawlessly in Postman and I’m able to get Bubble to send the dynamic parameters to use it, then receive a JSON body as a response.

HOWEVER, I can’t figure out how to tell bubble what to do with this set of JSON data I’m receiving.

The data is a list of numbers that represent available appointments for a hair salon. Because bubble does’t handle time well in the format of 3:30-4:30 for an hour long appointment, I am returning “15,30,16,30” to represent that same hour long appointment.

How do I tell Bubble how to interpret the data and how can I store this data into an object “thing” I already have in Bubble’s database? I have Employee things. Each Employee should have a schedule.

Thank you in advance!

Hey, JSON response example would help.

What API is it?

When you initialised the call did you tell Bubble that field on the response was a date interval?

Thank you. Sorry for the delayed response. I ended up getting it to work. The API was my own API I wrote.
