Bubble.io and Skillshare integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2024

Integrating Bubble.io with Skillshare

This guide will walk you through the steps required to connect your Bubble.io application to Skillshare, a popular online learning community for people looking to learn new skills through educational videos.

Step 1: Create your Bubble.io application

Start by creating your application on Bubble.io if you haven't done so already. Log into Bubble.io and select the "New Application" button. Provide a name for your application and select the plan that meets your needs.

Step 2: Set up your API in Bubble.io

Next, you need to set up the API to connect Bubble with external services. To do this, go to the "Settings" section of your application and navigate to the API tab. Make sure the checkbox saying "This app exposes a Data API" is checked. This will allow data from Skillshare courses to be pulled by your Bubble app.

Step 3: Find Skillshare’s API Documentation

Navigate to Skillshare's API Documentation to understand how you can communicate with Skillshare's database for pulling data. You will likely need to make a GET request. Follow their documentation and note down the necessary endpoint URLs and parameters.

Step 4: Implement Skillshare API in Bubble.io

Navigate back to Bubble.io, go to the "Data" Tab and then to "API Connector". Click on "Add another API". Here, you will need to add the information you found about Skillshare's API.

• For the name, you can just type in "Skillshare"
• The base URL will be based on what's provided in the Skillshare documentation.
• Add the necessary headers according to the API documentation. This may include things like "Authorization" headers with Bearer tokens.
• Add the GET call information based on the documentation.

Step 5: Initializing the API calls

In the same API Connector, click on the "Initialize Call" button. This allows Bubble to check if the API settings are correct. Bubble.io will go to Skillshare's API with the details you've provided. If you did everything correctly, you should receive a message saying the call has initialized successfully, and you should be able to see data loaded and the structure that the API will return.

Step 6: Use the Data from Skillshare API in your Application

Now that you have established the connection and initialized the call, you can now use the data from Skillshare's API in your app to create dynamic elements. For example, you could use the course information to form a list of available courses, etc.

Step 7: Test your Application

Finally, set your Application into debug mode to troubleshoot any potential issues before making your application live. Visit the preview mode and inspect elements if necessary and check if all elements are working as you intended.

Remember, technical guides like these often work ideally in a perfect sandbox, but real-world scenarios may throw up unexpected issues or complexities. Do not hesitate to reach out to the Bubble.io or Skillshare communities for help in case of problems. Happy coding!

Note: As of now, Skillshare does not have a public API available, so these steps are a generic API integration process. The real world steps might be a bit different based on the API provider's design and function.
