Hi there, I’m trying to build a Euro 2024 app in bubble and would like to retrieve the Euro 2024 fixtures into a repeating group in a dashboard. From what I can tell the API data I need isn’t flowing through correctly, although I’m very new to bubble and developing in general.
The image here is the JSON format data from the API:
I have identified the parameters which I need for the data which are ‘id’, ‘name’, ‘starting_at’, ‘result_info’ and ‘placeholder’. Then when I retrieve the API this data is returned.
However on the backend workflow I’m trying to set up to retrieve the data bubble does not accept what I’ve entered for the API retrieval, although defaulted my parameters and key correctly, which I’ve matched to my fields.
Am I missing any steps to feed this through correctly? Any help appreciated, as I really need to get this app up and running well before the tournament even starts in 2-3 weeks!
Thanks for much for getting back to me and sorry for the delayed response, I skipped this step in my app build and did it manually for the time being, but long term I would love to have the fixtures/results data link in via the API!
Yeah. So if you refer to the Result of Step 1 and retrieve the field from the API feed and match it to the field in the Create Fixture you will have what you need.
ah so the problem at step 1 (which maybe wasn’t clear from my screenshot) is that Bubble is not liking my inputs so I’m getting the text turn red in the box here. So when I get to STep 1, there is no option available to choose ‘result of step 1’ for anything.
It tells me content should be a ‘list of fixtures’ rather than ‘Get Season Schedule’, but there are no options for that within the API provider field here (those listed are not via the sportsmonks API).
Are you doing a manual definition or Detect Request Data defintion on your feed when it comes it?
Usually what you would do, is define the fields that are coming in from the API field by field. And then you would pass those in to an object in the workflow itself - either passing it in to an object or writing to the database.
Here is what you might do with a typical Stripe call:
Thanks again for your help Alan, unfortunately as you may be able to tell I’m very new to this so haven’t got my head round postman yet.
I had thought I was doing the latter yes, Detect Request Data, i.e. locating the fields marked with parameters ‘i.d.’ ‘starting_at’ etc per the JSON code.
I think I understand what you mean, so instead of pulling through the data as a fixture, or list of fixtures, it should be something else instead in the screenshot here?
