Getting started with APIs

Hello All,

I’m struggling with understanding APIs. I’ve read an followed this document https://docs.wappler.io/t/using-api-data-source/3670 but I’m getting lost in the instructions and not able to replicate the exercise…

Is there a video anywhere of how to setup and call say a demo API site?

Many thanks
M

Could I ask you what you mean when you say

Are you wanting to connect to a REST API?

Yes, understanding how to use test API sites such as https://dev.to/promode/7-demo-websites-which-you-can-use-to-perform-api-testing-1p6c

I don’t know of any video, perhaps you can share with screenshots how far you got and show us where you’re stuck?

By explaining what you’re expecting to happen and what is actually happening

I have a need to connect to multiple different APIs all day long, and although many have similarities, they are all quite different, so to be very honest you really need to look through each use case, and their respective documentation to figure out how they have implemented their authentication.
