Hello,
I am trying to make a POST request to an external API using the API Connector, then show the response from the API . There’s 3 elements to the webpage:
- An input element for the message to send to the API
- A button to make the POST request to the external API, with the message in the input element
- A group container to display the response from the API
I verified getting a successful response from the API using Postman, then copied all the headers/body into the API Connector, and can see in the debugger during the preview that the write body is being sent in the POST request. But when I try to display the response in the group container, it says the data to display is empty (I’ve also tried with a text element and an HTML element, same result). I’m new to bubble apps, but I appreciate any and all help!
Some screenshots showing where I am at, sorry for the lots of redacted stuff, just was being safe about what is sensitive information to share:
The 3 element setup:

The initialization result showing that the POST request gets a successful response with content:
The workflow showing the request is triggered, then display is meant to be shown in the Response text group container:
The Response text group container showing it should display the response’s raw body text:
The same as the above screenshot, but this time on the frontend:
The debugger steps showing the request is sent properly:
