Calling ext. API to update record in a specific table

General

Hey there,

I would like to call an external API where I need to grab some JSON data I want to store in a specific table in my Backendless DB.

Is there any doc which shows an example how to proceed?

Thanks,
Norman

Hi Norman,

If you will be calling the external API from custom server-side code running in Backendless, you’d need to add the hostname for the external API. Here’s the doc:
https://backendless.com/documentation/manage/mgmt_external_hosts.htm

Once the hostname is approved, you should be able to connect to it from your custom code.

Regards,
Mark
