Recursive Api call

[mouhamed.ndour-exter]

Hello everyone,

I’m new to Bubble and I need some assistance with an API issue. I’ve been receiving data from an API, but the problem is that it only returns a maximum of 1000 items per request. However, it also provides a “nextTokenPage” which allows me to make a new request by passing that token.

I would like to know how to make these calls recursively on Bubble, as long as I have a “next” value in my response. I would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest a method to execute this action recursively.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Here’s what this should look like in my opinion.

Define the API workflow to take in a variable called nextPageToken (set the type to the same as whatever the API call is returning as the nextPageToken)

Then inside the API workflow it should:

• Call the API
• Save data to DB
• Schedule ITSELF again with the nextPageToken from the API response IF it’s not empty.

Hope this helps

Also:
Your nextPageToken should be an optional parameter, so you can start the whole workflow.
