Power your app with external tools using APIs
1. Start with a data source
Use your Figma design as the frontend and power it by displaying and interacting with content from external data sources as the backend. Data sources can be a database that you create, with Airtable or Google Sheet, or an existing source, like New York Times or Strava.
2. Get the API
A tool's API is the way it can talk to another system, in our case, Bravo and your app. The most common standard is REST API, using GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE API requests, which translates to create, read, update, and delete data (CRUD) operations. This is what you can set up in Bravo in order to talk to these external tools. Find the API documentation from these tools on how to set up the request you need.
The Data Library in Bravo is where you create collections (or folders) of API requests for your app project. After you've set up the requests, go to your app project to bind these requests to your app UI. Then voilà! Test drive your functional native app with the Bravo Vision previewer app before uploading your final app to the app stores.
API Connector in Bravo Studio
Watch how you use Bravo to connect to APIs and bind the data to your app UI.
To display, or "read", data is commonly done with the GET request. It retrieves data from the source. Then, you can select which data records to bind to which UI element. (Ex: display a list of contacts)
Create
To create data is commonly done with the POST request. It creates a new data record in the specified destination in the data source. (Ex: a new contact in a contact list)
Delete
To delete data is done with the DELETE request. It removes a data record from the data source. (Ex: delete a contact from a contact list)
