Thunkable apps should be able to connect to any web api. ---

It’s not so much difficult because of Thunkable but because every API url format is different, every API documentation is different, every JSON response is different, etc. In this video, I spend a lot of time talking you through some best practices. It’s not a quick tutorial because if you rush through setting up an API in Thunkable, … ---

I don’t know. Have you already selected an API? If so, provide a link to the documentation. If not, I’m not sure I can be of help with that aspect. ---
