Hi,
Is there any way to connect wix database to an external database (using odbc, sql…)?
Thanks

The short answer is no.

The long answer is… If access is possible via a REST interface, you can use the wix-fetch API.

I hope this helps,

Yisrael

Hi again, Yisrael
What I need is to obtain data from my wix database to a filemaker database. Do you have any examples of code?

Thanks a lot,

See the article Accessing 3rd-Party Services for details. Check with the service provider to see if they have a REST interface.

For a real-life example of accessing a 3rd party service, refer to the example Example: Using the Places API from Google Maps services .

Hi Yirael! I’m trying to add Airtable as an External Data Collection. Their documentation is very good. When I try to add the external data collection, Wix is accepting the endpoint url but not the “configuration”. Here’s a picture of the Airtable API information…would you mind pointing out what I should be entering in as the endpoint URL and configuration?
