Connecting Baserow via Rest API. Need Help

Ask the community
1

Hello everyone,
We have recently published an internal app built on Softr to onboard customers and track projects. We have no coding experience at all, so we are thrilled we could pull it off. All thanks to Softr.

Now, we want add a couple of other dashboards to it or build a second app for these dashboards. The issue we are facing is lack of Baserow or Nocodb integration. All our data resides there. We have been trying the Rest API route but have failed to execute it. We keep facing the 401 or 404 errors. The API and the URLs seem to be working fine when tested on Postman. Unsure what the issue is.

Unfortunately, the Rest API page in the Help section is not clear/easy to understand. And the only Rest API video by Softr doesn’t help at all.

It would be great if someone can publish a simple non-jargon Rest API step by step guide for Baserow and NocodB.

Thank You

Hi @German

Glad to hear you’re interested in using our Rest API. One quick clarification: even though our REST API can connect to nearly any data source (that has an API), it is still not meant to be your sole data source. Meaning, you will need to use one of our approved data sources to store your users as there is a lot that goes into user sync that the Rest API cannot handle yet.

Otherwise, maybe this blog article could help you further? Shopify meets Softr: REST API Integration with a focus on Transformers
