How to Save Data From an API to Your Bubble Database | Bubble.io Tutorials

Hey everyone,

I'm going to be posting more regular answers to questions that come up in the forum (or just questions that people ask me to do videos on). This is the first video in my video coaching newsletter series.

Excellent teaching manner, concept is simple and straightforward. You have a talent for instruction, we could use more ADVANCED tutorials with APIs posting and getting, backend workflows, etc, . Please continue with APIs videos and set the path for us to fully learn.

If you create a full course on APIs, the full in and outs using Bubble, I'm sure MANY people will signup! Let's give a thumbs up to let Jacob know we're interested in MORE Videos with API functionality : )

Great video! I'm VERY VERY interested in the approach you took with your client that you referenced at the end of this video. I've got some external product API feeds I'm pulling into my site that ends up equaling tens of thousands of products and I'm saving all the data to Bubble, so I'm trying to figure out the most effecient approach.

Great video! It helped me very much. Can't wait for your video on how to speed up the process. Looks like customs states would help!

[nalbano]

Love the videos. Any idea when your videos is coming out on some of the other solutions to high row counts? I have a few data streams I'm looking to bring into bubble, and am interested in some of the approaches to larger scale data writing into the bubble DB.

[Pimous]

Oh thanks a lot !!! You save me a lot of hours of searching and testing :)
I have a question : If we click many times to the button " Create Post", how to update only several item of the db loaded from the API if only few of them changed, without to be obliged to upload the entire db and without doublons (duplicated item) ?

[thatjasonr]

Thanks for this! How would one set it up so that it updates data in that list on a new call/ GET, vs repopulating it from scratch?

[Taylor]

This was great any chance you could should how to save a file from an api call

[htmlfivedev]

Awesome work!! Exactly what I was looking for ... would it be possible to make videos in 1080p rez? After all, it's 2022 ... 720p died at least 10 years ago ... I've attended the funeral 😏

[VogelaarVredehof]

HI Jacob, Thanks for your video! I'm strugle with nested parts in the api response. how to solve this? have seen your other video, but I have 3 steps. (tests>parameters>limits) I'm not able to save every "limit" in a record in bubble including in this record the PARAMETER (code, name, ...) and the TEST (code, name, ...) Thanks a lot for your help ;-)

[Carol-uzpr]

How would I connect the information from the api database to specific user, such as a specific users post in your case? Thank you for the video btw <3

PS. There seems be to a change to the Menu settings in the Backend workflows since the video has been made. In the video at 6:14, there is a setting missing. In my file you have to choose between POST and GET. Using POST got mine working
