Hi, I have a production system that exposes its data via a RESTful API. Can I read this from Bubble? The documentation seems to keep steering me towards pre-written API plugins - this is not what I want. This would be a show-stopper for me. So I’d like to get a feel for this before investing too much time with Bubble. All the best. N.

That’s what you need [image] API Connector - use most JSON APIs directly from Bubble Announcements We are really excited to announce that in addition to Blockspring and Zapier, you can now also connect to other services using the API Connector! This really opens up a lot of opportunities to use services like Lyft, Etsy and a lot more, without having to write any code. We put together two video tutorials to help you get up to speed - one to create a BMI calculator and another to get a listing from Etsy. There are a lot of ways we can grow this feature - looking forward to your feedback, her…

Thanks. This looks like it’s close to what I’m looking for. Any plans to support XML?

It’s not frequently asked as most modern APIs are JSON based. If your API on XML?

Yes. But we’re considering developing a JSON version too.

Well if you can do JSON it’s better (and probably a faster turnaround), but let us know.

I want to read data from an REST API that is external, can Bubble do this?
