Hi @Ben @ashley, Please look at this issue. Thanks Can some one help me, how to use below end point working with external collection ? Note - Here I am not looking to use custom action. [https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=channapattana,india&appid=](https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=channapattana,india&appid=) Looks like external collection still need load of work. it is not fully flexible enough to work with all the API’s so far. Note - Please try to get the ‘apikey’ from openweathermap website. ---

@iamharims Adalo currently expects an array […] as a response from an REST API. Only what is in the array = in the [] brackets, will be parsed. That’s why the parts you marked as missing don’t show app in the External collection. ---

@karimoo - Is there any way we can make it possible now. Or this is coming as new feature in future. This is most wanted one for API users. 😒 ---

@iamharims I am not part of the Adalo team 😉 The way we have, is to create or upvote feature requests [Feature Requests | Adalo](https://ideas.adalo.com/feature-requests). ---

@karimoo - Thanks. I feel like Adalo going slow with new features release and bug fixes compare to last few weeks. Hopefully they will releases fixs and new features faster ---

I guess the preparation and launch of the Component Marketplace took a lot of efforts. ---
