The latest feature release is the Collections API. An API is an Application Programming Interface, which is a fancy way of saying you can now use the data from inside Adalo, outside Adalo (among other things).
Use tools such as Parabola & Integromat to automate workflows based on information within your collections.
Each Adalo app now comes fully equipped with personalized API documentation, automatically updated with each new collection added.
Unleash the power of your data with the Collections API.
Awesome release! I’m trying to navigate to the API page for a number of different collections and am either just having the API page spin / load forever or getting an error that says “Something went wrong…” with then some error text under that message. Very excited to use this new feature. Let me know if helpful to send you more of the error issues.
Hey @AXIOM, @swgy84, @Devops, and everyone, apologies for having to do this, but at the moment we’ve had to pause any calls to the new Collections API feature.
While this was not the root cause of the outages yesterday, we want to pause any calls to the Collections API for now to give our database more bandwidth. Basically what was happening yesterday was that all of the saves were backed up with all of the apps, so increasing the bandwidth means the saves will continue to be instantaneous. (To be clear, your Custom Actions and External Collections functionality is still running the same as normal, it’s just the new Collections API access we paused.)
Right now our dev team is still working hard to make changes with everything here so this is only temporary. We’ll update you when the Collections API is no longer paused. We’re also going to be posting a longer game plan here moving forward to let you all know what we’re doing to insure that everything is in tip-top shape.
We understand this has to be frustrating, so we wanted to thank you all you for being so understanding and supportive throughout this.
The API was the reason why I signed up for a paid account, because that’s the foundation of the App idea I have in mind. Anything on how long it’ll take until its up and running again?
We’ll have a much longer & detailed post about everything that happened and everything we’re doing long term from an infrastructure & performance standpoint sometime later this week, but everything is back on & running smoothly.
I’d also like to thank our dev team for working extremely hard to resolve this issue.
Wow, appreciate the quick turn around! Works like magic. I was able to build a prototype of something I’ve wanted to build for months. Thank you so very much for this.
Even after regenerating an API key.
