I’ve got the API connector installed to the app but I can’t figure out how to configure it so that it calls data using the api automatically as the person types.
What I’m trying to do is have an auto-complete drop down happen for an Airport Code (ex. CYKZ) or other ICAO code.
I have created a test app here if someone can assist me in configuring this or advise me how I can go about using an API like this in bubble…: testingapplication604 | Bubble Editor
Request FULL URL: curl -v -X GET “https://api.flightstats.com/flex/airports/rest/v1/json/icao/cykz?appId=57bedf72&appKey=c7cd5c509328bb05191749da7e142180”
appId=57bedf72
appKey=c7cd5c509328bb05191749da7e142180
I believe what I need to do is modify the request ICAO Code automatically…
But how is this done?
I want to take a user input and add it to the API call URL dynamically. Maybe I’m configuring this all wrong though I am not sure about this one… Thanks all.
Make the URL client safe and add the field dynamically.
However you will need to add a valid code in the plugin to get it to work so bubble can see some data.
Thanks Nigel. I’ve now made the main url client-safe (not the paramaters) and i’ve placed a full URL with an ICAO code there as you said so that Bubble has actual data but I am still not able to dynamically change this ICAO code that modifies the call url. Each time I attempt to go dynamic it clears the entire url.
Managed to get the field to auto populate without deleting the entire URL but for some reason all I get are 404 errors from the API Connector. ?
Works fine when I’m in the Plugin settings. Works fine in the dashboard for the api provider. But when I use it on the web page it gives me constant 404’s:
Have I set something up incorrectly? Parameters are all being sent fine. ICAO code is dymanic now at the tail end of the URL… ?
Is this in an app somewhere public ? I can’t see it in the link above ?
