Hi everyone!

I’m new to Adalo and am trying to connect my external API to my app. Some information about my API:

- Generated using [sparklite.io](http://sparklite.io)
- Using a synthetic key, tenant name and content-type header
- Is an execute style API using POST method only

Step 1:

Step 2 (the API uses only POST so I have just changed all methods to POST and entered my endpoint for each):

When I test the above, I am able to see a successful API response, but I notice that there was an error from Adalo when getting all.

What’s wrong and how do I fix it?

Any help appreciated!

Thank you,  
Sadhana

Hi Sadhana,

I think you would not need to change all endpoints to Post. Keep them like that and test it. If you get this same error then you need to add a result key on the get all endpoint. I think that should be response\_data and outputs.

But you said this is a Post one and Custom actions will be good for that!

You want to create a record?

Thank you

Hi @Dilon - thanks a ton for a reply! I’ve been trying for a while now ahaha.

I have actually tried to keep all other endpoints to the default method:

I still get an error:

Yes, you are right, it is a post endpoint only. I can try custom actions - do you know how I can get started? Also, do i need a collection to work with custom actions? How do I get a collection if Adalo doesn’t allow me to?

Thanks so much!
