To confirm this will allow us to access the Adalo data thru external methods by using this API?

Wanted to follow up and see when and if this would move to the next step of the roadmap?

At present, it’s possible to put information into collections using the Zapier integration, but not to get it out. ([Adalo Integrations | Connect Your Apps with Zapier](https://zapier.com/apps/adalo/integrations)) - the ability to be able to do a GET/POST/PUT on collection data would be a huge step forward in what it would open up for Adalo apps to be able to do.

I would like full api access. Create webhooks for record updated / created events. Can then use this with Integromat or for custom development.

This would be awesome to have. At the very least be able to integrate with Integromat, Parabola, and services other than just Zapier (it’s expensive).

Patrick Ford: +1 for being able to use with Parabola - the examples of exciting are endless!

Ben Haefele: Hello Ben. The API functionality does not allow us to send data from Adalo to other systems. Only the Zapier integration does. I would have thought that you guys must have been done with this by now. If possible, please advice how soon can this happen.

Carlos: I think the Custom Actions feature might be what you’re looking for. We’ll be releasing a beta of it soon.

I have a requirement for an external ‘dashboard’ web site to get and display information about orders received via my Adalo app. I’m presently exploring if I can call my dashboard’s REST API from Adalo to ‘push’ data into the dashboard. However, I would rather do it the other way round and have my dashboard pull data out of Adalo. I prefer this data refresh action to be performed periodically by a back-end server process than my Adalo app. Having an Adalo API which my dashboard could call would be great!
Ben Haefele Is there any approximate ‘ETA’ for the API? Is it weeks/months away from release ?

Hey, I want to creep the scope…I think it should be possible to CREATE collections through the API as well. Further, if we could create full Adalo ACCOUNTS, that would be even better.
