How to get data from an external API?

Hello @William_Lee,

Unfortunately this error comes from Mediastack not from Backendless. I’ve discussed with @vladimir-upirov and can advise you to use API Service to retrieve data. The nodejs request to Mediastack should work fine.

Hi which specific API Service are you talking about? Is it a different Codeless Block… or is it under the “Hosted” or “Imported” tab in this image?

Hello @William_Lee

you can create new codeless service and method to call mediastack. Checkout this doc Network API - Backendless Codeless Development Guide
