Uncover the secrets of integrating Bubble.io with Marvel through our step-by-step guide. Learn the perks of this seamless fusion today.
Marvel is a design platform that allows users to create interactive prototypes of apps and web projects without needing any coding skills. It serves as a tool for designers, developers, and product managers to visualize, test, and handoff designs. With Marvel, users can create user interfaces, wireframes, and interactive prototypes, then share and collaborate on them in real time. Additionally, it also offers user testing features, design specs, and design systems.

Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
Step 1: Set up your Marvel App
The first thing you need to do is to create an app on Marvel that you want to integrate with Bubble.io. To do this, go to the Marvel App website and sign up for an account if you don't have one. Navigate to the dashboard and create an app. Once your app is ready, note the public key and private key. Marvel will provide these to you on the app's details page, and you will need them later.
Step 2: Create your Bubble.io Project
Next, you need to create your Bubble.io project. Visit the Bubble.io website and create an account if you don't have one. It's worth mentioning that Bubble has a pretty intuitive interface. You can drag and drop components to create your app. Once you're satisfied with your application and want to connect it with your Marvel app, go to the homepage of your Bubble.io application.
Step 3: Navigate to Bubble API Connector
On your Bubble.io homepage, go to the "Plugins" tab which you can find on the left panel under the "Data" tab. Under the plugins tab, select “Add plugins” and in the plugin search bar, search for “API Connector” and install it. Bubble’s API connector allows you to communicate with APIs thus enabling Marvel and Bubble to communicate.
Step 4: Initialize call in Bubble.io API Connector
Once you have installed the API Connector, navigate to the 'API' section which you will find under the 'Plugins' tab. Click on 'Add another API'. Here you will enter the details of your Marvel app. Give the API an identifiable name, choose 'POST' as 'Use as action', enter Marvel’s API Base URL (https://gateway.marvel.com:443/v1/public/), select 'Private key in URL' or 'Public key in URL' as per your key preferances. Add keys on appropriate headers and parameters section underneath the URL. Save the setup.
Step 5: Configure the Body Type and Data Type
Based on what kind of data you will be sending to and receiving from Marvel, configure the body type and data type in the API Connector settings. If you aren't sure what to choose, you can find this information in the Marvel API documentation.
Step 6: Test your Marvel API Integration
To test your API integration, click on the 'Initialize' button. If your settings are correct, your API will successfully initialize and you will be able to use your Marvel API within your Bubble app.
Step 7: Use the API in Bubble
Now that your API has been successfully initialized, you can use it in your Bubble.io application. You will find the Marvel API when you use data fetching operations or when you use the 'Show data from an external API' action.
Remember APIs require calls. Each call to an API counts towards your app's usage of the allocated quota. Practise mindful calling to manage and not exceed your allocated quota.
Step 8: Debugging, if Needed
It is possible that you might face issues while integrating Marvel with Bubble.io. Do not be disheartened. Bubble offers a great debugging platform. Use the debugging logs and error messages to troubleshoot the problem and recheck the API documentation of Marvel to ensure you have included the correct parameters, keys, headers, and base URLs.
By following these steps, you should be able to get Bubble.io and Marvel app working together in harmony. It may take a bit of tweaking and adjusting, but it's definitely possible to make it work. Happy coding!
Scenario: A web design agency creates attractive web pages and user experiences for their clients. They want to use Bubble.io to create functional prototypes of their web designs, and then they want to use Marvel to create interactive, high-fidelity prototypes that they can present to their clients for feedback. Seamless integration between the two tools would streamline their workflow and ensure better coordination and communication.
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Marvel
Web Design and Prototyping with Bubble.io: The agency uses Bubble.io to create functional prototypes of their web designs. They create various elements and pages, link these together, and define user interactions, replicating the entire layout and user flow of the proposed web application.
Setting up the Integration:The integration of Bubble.io with Marvel can be set up easily. Bubble.io prototypes can be exported as HTML/CSS and imported into Marvel for further refinement.
Enhancing Prototypes with Marvel: Once the Bubble.io prototypes are imported into Marvel, the agency can add more interactivity, animations, and graphical refinements to create high-fidelity, interactive prototypes.
Sharing Prototypes with Clients: Marvel allows the agency to share these interactive prototypes with their clients through a shareable link. The clients can provide feedback on the prototypes, ensuring that both parties are aligned on the proposed designs.
Iterating on feedback: Based on the feedback, the web design agency makes changes and improvements in the Bubble.io prototypes. The updated Bubble.io prototypes can be again imported into Marvel to create the final prototypes.
Benefits:
Streamlined workflow: The integration of Bubble.io with Marvel allows the web design agency to create functional prototypes quickly and refine them into high-fidelity, interactive prototypes.
Improved Communication: The use of interactive Marvel prototypes for client feedback ensures better understanding and communication.
Efficient Iterations: The iterative process between Bubble.io and Marvel, supported by client feedback, helps the agency to achieve the best possible web designs.
Time and Cost Savings: By automating the process from functional to interactive prototyping, the integration saves the agency significant time and costs.
By integrating Bubble.io with Marvel, the web design agency can create a smooth, efficient workflow for designing and prototyping web pages. They can streamline communication with their clients and ensure that the final product meets their needs and expectations.
