API Connector

With Pathfix, you can establish a connection with any OAuth service provider AND send API requests (payload) between these apps for your users.

Pathfix works as a pass-through API that stamps all your requests with the required tokens and sends your requests to the provider, allowing you to consume ANY API endpoint offered by the provider.

Please note, this is Step 2 of the setup and you need to have completed Step 1 (User Authorization) first before calling any API.

Bubble API Connector

All your API calls will have to go through Pathfix so that we can stamp the call with the relevant tokens for the user and then send to the provider. This API call structure is found in Pathfix under API Call

  • Select the app you would like to call the API for, click on Setup and choose API Call

  • This will be the structure of the API call that you need to use to make the call in Bubble (this will be used in the 'body' section of the API Connector)

To make the API call to pull data from the provider, you will need to use the Bubble API Connector Plugin.

  • In Bubble, click on Plugins from the left nav bar
  • Click on Add Plugins and search for API Connector
  • Install the Bubble API Connector plugin

  • Change the API Name for ease of reference and choose Authentication type as Private key in URL
  • Enter your Pathfix Private Key from your Pathfix application (see how you can find your keys here Pathfix keys) add a call, give it a name for internal reference
  • Add POST call to the Pathfix endpoint (the method used will always be POST)
  • In the JSON body, enter the endpoint URL, the method for the call and the payload
  • Enter the public_key and user_id under parameters and add the JSON Body
  • Click on Initialize Call
  • Upon successful configuration and data mapping, you will be able to use this API call with your Bubble user data.
