Step 1: Creating an App in Bubble.io
First, you need to log in to your account on Bubble.io. Once logged in, click on the "My Apps" tab on the dashboard. On this page, click on the "New App" button to create a new app. You will be prompted to name the app. Choose a suitable name and press "Create".
Step 2: Installing the API Connector Plugin
After creating the app, go to the Plugins page via the left sidebar. Click on the "+Add plugins" button and search for the API Connector plugin. Once you find it, click on the 'Install' button. Confirm the installation by clicking 'Done'.
Step 3: Configuring the API Connector Plugin
Now that the plugin is installed, it needs to be configured. On the Plugins page, find the API Connector plugin list and click on 'Add another API'. A new window opens. Name this API 'SocialBee'.
Step 4: Adding API Endpoints
You need to specify the API endpoints to use. In the 'SocialBee' API settings you just created, click on the 'Add another endpoint' button. This will require you to input details like the Endpoint Name, the API method (GET, POST, etc.), and the actual Endpoint URL. The API documentation from SocialBee should provide these details.
Step 5: Authenticating the API
APIs usually require authentication, and SocialBee is no different. You may need to provide your SocialBee API key, client ID, and client secret all found in your SocialBee account settings. Input these in the respective fields under the Authentication/Headers section in the Bubble API connector for SocialBee.
Step 6: Initializing the API Call
After adding the endpoints and authenticating the API, click on the 'Initialize call' button. If everything is done right, you should see a successful connection message, as well as a preview of data returned from SocialBee.
Step 7: Using the API in your App
Now that the API connection is established, you can use it in your Bubble.io app. This could be done through the 'Get data from an API' option within the Bubble.io editor or by running backend workflows that make use of the API.
Step 8: Testing the Integration
After the installation and configuration of the API, it's important to ensure everything is working properly. Test it by creating a basic function that calls an endpoint from the API. For example, you could create a new post on SocialBee from your Bubble.io app. If the post successfully appears on your SocialBee account, then the integration is successful.
Remember, Bubble.io and SocialBee's integration may require further fine-tuning depending on the exact requirements of your application. Explore both platforms' documentation and resources for enhanced customization.
