Please tell me how to connect my app to my website API
this is a very generic question - what would you like to connect? how is your website written?
And most important, what are you trying to achieve?
You can use the Web API block to connect through API to anything that allows this kind of access
To connect a Thunkable app to your PHP website, you basically need to expose your PHP side as a simple REST API and then consume it inside Thunkable using Web API blocks.
On the PHP side, you can create endpoints like getData.php or login.php that return JSON responses. Make sure you set headers like Content-Type: application/json and output structured JSON using json_encode().
On the Thunkable side, you would use the Web API component:
-
Set the request URL to your PHP endpoint
-
Choose GET or POST depending on your use case
-
Send parameters as query strings or form data
-
Parse the JSON response using the built-in JSON blocks
A simple flow would be:
App → Web API request → PHP script → JSON response → App UI update
For more complex setups (authentication, saving user data, syncing content), you’ll want to standardize your API structure early so both your app and website stay in sync easily.
Also, if you’re exploring app-building and backend integration more deeply, there are some useful dev resources and job discussions around API/backend work on https://jobyzo.com/ that might help you understand real-world implementations better.
