REST API Question

Need help APIs
1

Hello all Bubble Buddies: I am a TOTAL NOOBBLE, so please forgive me if this question is bubble-brained …

There is a REST API called https://zipcodestack.com/ that I would like to use, and it’s not in the list of Bubble APIs … is it possible to use a REST API that isn’t already integrated into Bubble?

Here is why I’d like to use this …

  1. 201 countries supported
  2. Free up to 10k transactions a month
  3. Does radius search

I realize that there already is a zip code api in Bubble, and, from what I can tell, it’s pretty limiting: Only does US/Canada and the free plan is only 10 transactions a day, which makes me think … wow debugging would be a pain!

THANK YOU BUBBLE BUDDIES!

Yes use the API Connector plugin (not really a plugin, needs to be built in since Bubble makes it)

Yes definately, there are many online tutorials on how to setup an API in Bubble’s API connector. I would highly recommend watching one to understand how they work.

Once you set-up one API in the API connector, it all makes a lot more sense and its much easier to do the next one. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
