good morning to all guys. I would like to make sure that while a user is typing from the third letter onwards an api call is made to one of my external db. Is this possible in bubble?
what I would like to create is: a dropdown menu, as I type, from the third character onwards, I get a list of values to choose from (as suggestions) from an external api that contain those certain characters. And once you select an item from that list, it populates my text area.
Because in reality I already do a similar thing by interfacing with the internal db of bubble, but I have not yet tested with an external api.
if I intervened in the workflow to populate the possible choice data when the input value changes, wouldn’t it work?
HI,
I have the same problem. Any tips to Call an api when some characters is typing?
Hey guys.
Consider using a fuzzy search approach as outlined in this video. I would also get the Instant Text plugin.
I suspect between those two plugins and a conditional workflow you will be able to trigger the API call at exactly the time you need
