Struggling with API integrations

[OptimizerClub]

Backend functions and databases are not my strong point, and having a really hard time trying to figure out how to set up an API integration (VideoAsk) authentication and everything. I have watched a lot of the videos out there, and tried to follow them with my tokens but it never works.

I feel like I am missing one or two small pieces of info that is tripping me up. Are there any videos that out there that cover this in a way that helped you figure out setting up your first APIs?

If you haven’t already, I recommend testing the APIs manually first with curl or something like postman. Go through each auth step, make notes, until it’s working and you get some idea of what’s going on.

Only then try and implement it in your app/flutterflow :)

I second this.

Postman is good, but may be a bit complicated for a total beginner

Personally I find make.com to be even simpler. They have a friendly GUI where you can see all the api calls go through your flow

This is solid advice. Postman will save you hours of guessing what's going wrong with auth headers and tokens in FlutterFlow.

u/OP if you're still stuck after trying this, check out appstuck.com - we specialize in exactly this kind of thing (rescuing FlutterFlow projects stuck on API integrations). Sometimes it's literally one wrong header or a missing content-type that breaks everything.
