⚙️ API Configuration

The API Configuration action allows you to centrally manage and customize the settings for your API integrations in a reusable way. This feature helps simplify and standardize how your Pageflows connect with external services.

Features​

  • Select API Configuration: Choose from existing API configurations that include credentials, endpoints, headers, and other settings.
  • Manage API Credentials: Store API keys, tokens, and authentication information securely.
  • Set Base URLs: Define the root endpoint for your API to avoid repetition across calls.
  • Configure Headers: Add common HTTP headers such as Authorization, Content-Type, Accept, etc.
  • Parameter Management: Predefine query parameters or request body templates that can be reused and customized in different Pageflows.
  • Environment Support: Manage different configurations for environments such as Development, Staging, and Production.

Benefits​

  • Reusability: Define API configurations once and reuse them across multiple Pageflows or actions.
  • Maintainability: Centralize API connection details to easily update endpoints or credentials without modifying each Pageflows.
  • Security: Store sensitive API keys and tokens securely, reducing risk of exposure.
  • Efficiency: Simplify Pageflows design by offloading repetitive API setup steps.

Use Cases​

  • Connect to REST or SOAP APIs with predefined authentication.
  • Standardize external service communication across multiple Pageflows components.
  • Manage multiple API endpoints or versions within the same project.
  • Enable quick switching between API environments for testing or production deployment.

Notes​

  • Ensure proper permissions and access controls for managing API configurations.
  • Regularly update and audit stored API credentials.
  • Use this action in conjunction with HTTP request actions to send API calls based on the selected configuration.

Tip: Combine API Configuration with dynamic variables to create flexible API calls tailored to specific Pageflows conditions.
