Connecting APIs

Read from and write to any REST API — import an OpenAPI spec, or add endpoints by hand.

Import an OpenAPI spec

In the Data panel → Add → OpenAPI, give a spec URL (or paste JSON). Likeable imports the endpoints so you can call them by name. Set the auth type (none / bearer / API key / basic).

Add an endpoint by hand

For an API without a spec, add a connection with its base URL and define endpoints (method + path) as you need them.

Auth & secrets

Pick the auth type when you create the connection, then enter the secret in the Data panel — it's stored encrypted and injected server-side on each request, through a guarded proxy. Use direct mode only for public, keyless URLs.

Use it

Bind an ApiData brick to an endpoint to read data, or a Form to write. Test a call before wiring it up.
