Does anyone know if it is possible to fetch multiple rows using custom actions. It seems it only stores the first element of the array ---

Hi @ArijitDas, welcome to the community! šŸ˜Š Adola currently doesnā€™t support creating multiple records from a JSON array with custom Actions. The good news is that there is a workaround with external collections, once you have succefully set up your Url endpoint you can ā€œfilterā€ your list by parsing parameters. ![Filtered List API](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/b/b0ebb0291577133cb911c7008eefcbd12d9acf7b.png) Itā€™s no perfect and in some use cases this canā€™t be emplemented, but until the devs find a solution thatā€™s all we have šŸ˜‡ ---

Hi Rae , Thanks for the alternative but the main problem here is external API collection does not support dynamic bearer token allocation which in turn expose lot of unrestricted data . ![7F709C516A514CE7A5F23ADE0D4C695D[4751348].png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/b/b9e9565dd99f6c8658b56546426b19415aa6d29c.png) ![4827AA03091349CAA7E9AC9AB045B6CE[4751349].png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/9/9f7388f36c4d837067ba2843a1b6f1c4bb26ee74.png) ![763BED5766684CFA898362F56341498D[4751350].png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/2/293682dccfefa12eb22d350b69e287ef0f25ef66.png) ![AEC86A1F42E2474083715EF777E6933F[4751351].png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/7/75a7267bd248704879a065e1fbd5562826fead97.png) ![464541F3118749298B084D42BAD61159.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/6/677f06bdf711468707faf594c72c7993f90d2513.png) ---

Hi Rae, I am able to fetch data within the application but not as api call.Yes header and everything is set correctly which is the reason the data is saved as external collection. Regards, Arijit ---

Sorry for the confusion, I thought your error was within the application šŸ™ƒ I havenā€™t personally tested the external API yet as this feature was recently released by the devs. Iā€™ll check this out over the weekend to see if there are any bugs on my side. For referenceā€¦are you using Postman to test your API calls? ---
