Passing on Values for API Calls between pages

Need help APIs
1

Hi,
tl;dr: I want to pass On a value from page index to page blog and do an API call with that value passed-on from page index. I was able to finish the first part, but I do not know how to do the second part.

I am using Bubble to do the following:

  • Index page: Renders a repeating component showing a list of blog posts. This works fine using the API connector pointing to my Storyblok account. CleanShot 2022-07-20 at 12.13.27
  • When a user clicks the “read” link on the repeating component, the user gets to the blog page. On that page, I want to show the full content of the blog post. CleanShot 2022-07-20 at 12.12.31

Here is where I get stuck

What I got going so far:

  • I pass on the unique Identiefer of a blog post as a URL value
  • I know how to access the URL parameter - I can read it in a text field - CleanShot 2022-07-20 at 12.13.55
    What I do not know how to do:
  • I need to make an API call using the passed-on URL parameter UUID as a dynamic value. Here is the API call setting: CleanShot 2022-07-20 at 12.15.10

Is it possible to do this with a dynamic value / API call within one text field (both retrieving the UUID from the URL and making the API call). Or am I approaching this wrong and there is a better / easier way to do this?

Thank you for any pointers, ..

The issue you have actually is that you set the parameter to private in API connector. Remove private checkbox and you will be able to dynamically fill the uuid using Get data from url
