Adalo and external database

Hello everybody

I have a one question about the External collection
I’ve added the collection in my project



But in the Adalo I did’n see any field in this collection

Do you have any idea why?

try adding booking_days as second results key and check. the JSON response seems to be different compared to the others.

Nope
I’ve try to add second results key with booking_days
Try to swap
Nothing helps(

Hi @oper2k,
Have you tried pulling the whole JSON object and not only “booking_dates”? Leaving the Results key empty?

As a remark “booking_dates” is a sort of Json nested/Array, when pulling in list mode, you will only get first result (E.g. 2021-05-19) and not the whole nested list. At least with other APIs, I think this is an Adalo limitation.

Yes, I’ve try it, but Adalo can’t add this external database without any results keys

The full answer is there:

{
“booking_days”: {
“5”: [

How can I get the “booking_dates”? :sob:

Unfortunately the APIs you’re trying are not well defined in my view and that’s causing the issue.

Hi, as @bhanu said, API is not properly built, dates should be in JSON object format:

{
"2021-06-30”
}
and not using (this is an array that is just “another” field in the JSON object in a list format (array)). As I mentioned Adalo will only return the first date even if you have access to the field.

If you want, I can check if I can build a custom API for you.

I want of course :heart_eyes:
It will be great

Send me an email to support@adaloshop.com with the details, I will see what I can do. Cheers.
