Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
Bubble.io is a visual programming language that lets you build applications without the need to code. Looker is a powerful data analytics platform that individuals and businesses use to gather, analyze, and visualize data.
This guide will show you step by step on how to integrate Looker with Bubble.io.
The first thing you need to do is sign in to your Bubble.io account, or create a new one if you haven't done so. After signing in, you will be taken to the Bubble.io Dashboard.
On your Dashboard, click on the New Application button. This will take you to the application creation page. Fill out the required information like your application's name, type (public or private), and template (start from scratch or use a template.)
Once your application is created, you can now start building it. Bubble.io provides a visual, drag-and-drop builder for your application. Simply go to the Design tab, add elements to your canvas, and define your application's workflow. The process may vary depending on what your app will do.
For integrating Looker, we need an API call. We'll use the API Connector plugin.
On the Bubble.io editor, go to the Plugins tab. Click on the Add plugins button. Search for API Connector and install it.
After installing the plugin, a new option will show up in the Plugins tab, called API Connector. Click on it. You will be taken to a new page where you can add API calls. Click on the Add another API button and fill out the information:
In order to connect with Looker, you'll need your Client ID and Secret.
Access this information by going to your Looker account, navigate to the Admin panel, then go to API3. Click on the New API3 Key button to generate a new one.
Now, you will add the API call settings on Bubble.io:
The created API call can be used inside a workflow in your Bubble.io application. You can add the necessary actions in your workflow to trigger the API call.
Please make sure to handle error responses, and provide mechanisms in your application to display error messages to users if the API call fails.
The integration will allow the Looker API to send data directly to your Bubble.io app, where you can use and display it according to your application's workflow and design.
_Note: Always test the API calls in debug_mode=true in preview mode to make sure they’re working before making them live._
By following these steps, you can successfully integrate Looker with your Bubble.io app to create, analyze, and visually represent data in your application.
