APIs (connecting to outside services)
Open APIs from the left menu to connect your app to an outside service, such as a weather feed or your own data service. The page header says APIs; each link you add is a connection.
How it works, and this is the important bit:
- Click Add Connection. Give it a name, the service's web address, and how it authenticates: Bearer token, Custom header, or Query parameter. Then Save Connection.
- Use Test Connection to confirm your details are right.
- While you build, the Preview uses stand-in (mock) data; it cannot make real outside calls (the Preview badge shows APIs active on publish).
- When you publish, the connection goes live and your app pulls real data on the published site.
So the pattern is: build with mock data, set up the connection, publish, and it works for real. Real connections are not held back for a higher plan, they work as soon as you publish.
Connections allowed per plan: Free 1, Member 3, V-Plus 10, V-Pro unlimited. You can also reach this page from Settings, via the API Connections card.
