3 API's - no idea how to do it?

Goran · 2024-02-28T12:41:20.909+00:00

I am creating an app for Crypto/Stock portfolio, where you can follow the progress of your investments.I am struggling with one problem for a few days now. But wasn't able to get a good result.Can you help me with how I can, in Toddle: 1. call the Get Portfolio API (get all crypto in the database), then 2. call the Update current price API to get the latest crypto prices, and then call the third API to update the prices in the database? And I should repeat that multiple times to do it for every crypto in the DB. What's the best way to do that in Toddle? I have all 3 API's working correctly.

here is the link to it with demo data. It all started by following Day 5 - dashboard, so I am using dashboard to show values, but can't get the data the way I want it 🙂

Is there a way to change a response I get from API? Maybe the questions sound stupid, but I do not have much experience.

You will need to create variables and then on 'success' (scroll down) you can assign values from the returned results into those variables.

Some elements in your page will get their data from your variables.
Hope that helps. There's a learning curve if you haven't done a lot of javascript programming.

I think @GiantGuf has done exactly this...

@Goran Yes, I've done something like this. If you want the prices to be updated on a schedule even when you are not logged in to your app you need a backend. I use Comnoco for that. I also use Supabase as database and Toddle as frontend.
I read all the coins in my database and then loop through them to get each coins latest price. I then write back the price to Supabase. Toddle will get the data from Supabase when I log in to my app. I use a free API so I need to have short pauses between the readings so I don't exceed the free tier limit restrictions.

@GiantGuf You use comnoco I read somewhere? Free tier? Anyway for me is totally ok to update prices once I open my page, no need for permanent updates.
So if I can do it through toddle without comnoco that would be ideal for me

I tried using (Lifecycle) On attribute change in my component but it does not do anything
So I guess the purpose of that is not what I thought it is

I was in the Beta group so I have a different tier than what's available now. I don't know what databases the free tier can handle. you have to ask StuartM about that.
If you want the price fetch function to run in an interval while you are logged in you could use the Interval function. You set it in milliseconds and then on every tick you call the API for updated prices.
You then also need to refresh the page so the new values get updated on screen.
