How to get the data api authentication token

Need help
1

I would like to take my database (which has privacy rules) and send them to an external platform.

The way I would like to do this would be, for example: when clicking on a button to generate a report, take this database where the report will be generated, and send it to the external platform to manipulate in code, and send it back to the bubble the result.

I saw that we can do this through the data api. but I wouldn’t want users to have to manipulate with the external platform.

Is there a way to get authentication using this logic? If not, how can I generate my token? I have to make an api call created in the backend workflow where I will log user in? but this action also needs the password and in my specific case it doesn’t work.

all help is appreciated! thank you!

@tylerboodman Thank you for the quick call out:) appreciate it.

  1. Click a Button → Send API to the external platform with a needed data values.
  2. Do the necessary thing in the external platform with the retrieved data values.
  3. If the action takes long, then use webhook from backend workflow.

Others will guide you with any other infos!

@if.started 's new answer is basically it.

Setup the API call to your external platform via the API Connector (its on the plugin store). If you execute it on the front end it will follow the current user’s privacy rules. If you need to send more data then you can put it in a backend workflow and check the box to ignore privacy rules :hugs:
