How powerful are Bubble's math capabilties?

Questions
1

Hi, I’ve been using Python (and Pandas, mostly) to create semi-automated accounting reports for the company I work at. Two questions:

  1. Can I do stuff like insert category names that I call from an API and insert them in the bubble-DB where the category-ID corresponds?
  2. Can I use e.g. Python code within Bubble?

I hope those questions make sense

Thanks so much for any help!

I think the answers are:

  1. Yes. You can add an attribute (column) to a data type that corresponds to the category from the source API. You should just prototype it.

  2. No as far as I know. The places where bubble allows you to insert code are mostly html, css, and JS. Even plug-ins are written in JS. If you want to avoid this and use Python, you could encapsulate your logic in an api that you call from bubble, especially if that code is already written and you don’t want to have to rewrite.
