Thanks Patrick, that is exactly what I was looking for

Thanks Pat !

Great tutorial, Patrick. Have found other Adalo API video tutorials that you found useful?

[@pford]

Hi Jeff, actually not really. That's why I wanted to make a few to help people out. I'll be putting more out shortly.

Patrick Ford thanks! Have you found that Adalo has limitations in regards to external APIs?

[@pford]

@@jeffb6305 Yes it has it's limitations but it's still a new product and it's meant to be as simple as possible so I get it. The main limitation IMHO is that for open(broad) search APIs you can't let the user pass a dynamic query in a text input.

Thanks Patrick,
Can we upload pictures from adalo to airtable? The image will only be saved to airtable. (Or can we upload it to a site like googledrive, cloud?)

[@pford]

You can do this using something like Zapier or Integromat, but it would require downloading the file from the image URL in Adalo.

Hi Patrick! Can you connect the mapbox api for location and Geolocation? Could you do a tutorial please

[@pford]

The map component has been on my list for a while. Might try to do this soon.

Hi Patrick , i tried similar api, which has 25 records. Only first record is saved in my collection. Api is returning 25 records successfully. How do i save the complete records in my collection.

[@pford]

Actually simply pulling in records does not save them to Adalo. You would need to have the user complete an action on each record to save it to an Adalo collection.

can this work for google sheets?

[@pford]

Yes it works great with Sheets!
