Connections allow you to connect your apps with external software, like payment processors such as Stripe or other vendors you might need.
APIs and other connections can be found in the left menu in the Appeggio tool. Click the icon and connect a new API. You'll notice that Appeggio has some pre-configured ones you can use right out of the box!
There are two types of connections. Appeggio offers many preconfigured API connections to services like payments. The second type of connection is one you can configure yourself by connecting to an API or an existing database.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. Think of it as a messenger that enables two or more applications to exchange data and perform specific actions. You can fetch data or trigger actions on the server by making HTTP requests to API endpoints with particular parameters.
The API will then process the request and send back the desired response, typically in a predefined format such as JSON or XML. Connecting to external APIs allows you to integrate advanced features into your application! For example, let's say you want to display weather information on your app. Find an API that provides that information, connect to the API within Appeggio, and display that information for all your users.
More information on Connections is coming soon.
