How to store pocket article data using Pocket API (via API Connector pluggin)

Hi guys,

I am hoping someone can help, been bashing me head against this problem for a few hours now.

I am successfully authenticating against Pocket’s API using the Bubble API connector pluggin. I am also successfully retrieving data about my articles using Pocket’s Retrieve API call..

I am ultimately trying to display the retrieved info (stuff like title, image and URL) in a Repeating Group and since I haven’t figured out how to set the Repeating Group’s content type to that of an external API using the API connector, I am taking the longer route of trying to store the data first. As an example, I created a PocketArticle type to store the article titles.

The problem I am having is that the Retrieve API returned values are empty and I am not quite sure why. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Here is my app

Incidentally, trying the same flow in Postman returns the following JSON:

When I try I get an authorisation error. I note that your redirect url in your authorisation parameters is your index url. Should it not be the display url?

Hey @raulspil, could you switch your app to public so that we can take a look?

@romanmg the app is public. here is a link again:

@louisadekoya good spot however the redirect API Connector call is not actually used (so should probably just be deleted). The redirect_url is actually passed in as part of the workflow assigned to the “Request pocket code” button on the Index page. The workflow has a call to an external URL which has the correct redirect_url pointing to my display Bubble page.

Hope that is clear.

I keep getting kicked out when I try to go to your link. Settings > General > Is it on Public?

@romanmg, I was able to access it by removing all instances of amp& in the link. Try this:

https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=index&id=justanotherapp&tab=tabs-1

The app is Public.

Oh great, I didn’t even notice those. Thanks.
