Post Data to External Rest Service

Need help APIs
1

Appreciate the help.
I see most of the videos is saving data withing bubble and some videos on GET requests but not much on POST (sorry, I tried from past few days and struggle, may is something could be available)

I have a rest API that accepts json data in following format
{
“id”: 1,
“description”: <“Test Desc”>,
“userId”: {
“id”: 2,
“firstName”: <“AJ”>,
“lastName”: <“Dhillon”>
},
“taskTypeSo”: {
“id”: 6,
“name”: <“Pre Auth”>
},
“dueDate”: <“2018-05-04”>,
“startDate”:<“2018-04-01”>,
“subject”: <“Test Subject”>
}

I have few input fields in the form when I press submit the data should be taken the input fields and posted.
I created an API connector for this call and setup POST API, with above format.

In the workflow of the submit button, what should I do, should I select “create new thing” or “make change to existing thing”, “get data from external API”. I tried all that but I do not see the API I created in the plugin section listed when I try “Create New thing”, “Make changes to existing thing” etc.

The BMI calculator example is posting data but it’s using to get the result in the text box. I am looking for something that posts data. The API connector current UI does not match with the one shown in the training video of BMI calculator.

Thanks for your assistance,

The initialize works fine, and the dynamic data substitution is also not private, this should give me access in bubble, I am not sure what should be done on button click action, should it be create new thing etc. I am not understanding, the POST also returns the status which I need to check to make sure the POST was done without errors.

Is this solved? I am looking for a way to submit Bubble.io form data to a third party url, and capture the response in bubble back again.

Is this doable and if someone has done it can share?

Thanks
