How do I connect to APIs in EasyMorph?

#1

Hi,

I am new to using APIs and would appreciate some help in how to import data using API’s.

I am using the Import from Web API action and I am using the website My Store API Documentation (iddogino1) | RapidAPI to practice, Inside the Import from Web API action I click on add new connector, but not sure what to do next:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This article should be a good starting point: Making your data better with web APIs

Once you have more specific questions, just post them in this thread.

Thanks for the link to the article, I am still slightly confused as to what I need to input in these fields:

I am using this online API as a sample: List Movies API Documentation (jpbermoy) | RapidAPI

Thanks.

The base URL usually includes the protocol, the host, and, optionally, one or more URL path segments. Examples of base URLs:

https://example.com/api/v3	
https://example.com/api
https://example.com/

The final URL of a web request is concatenated from two parts - the base URL specified in the “Web location” connector, and the URL path of the “Web request” action (or similar action).

See more details about how it works here: transformations:webrequest [EasyMorph Help]

In case of the movies API, the base URL for the “Web location” connector can be

https://list-movies.p.rapidapi.com

The URL path in the “Web request” action then would be

list_movies.json/false

So I have configured it like this:

It returns results, but the html:

I really appreciate the help on this! Thanks!

“Web location” connector

The Base URL of the “Web location” connector is incorrect. It should be https://my-store2.p.rapidapi.com.

The Header name is incorrect too. It should be X-RapidAPI-Key.

“Web Request” action

Make sure that in the tab “Headers” you’ve added the header X-RapidAPI-Host set to my-store2.p.rapidapi.com.
