API Request based on condition/ URL parameter

needtheanswers · 2024-08-27T12:18:04.382+00:00

I have the illusion that something similar has been asked here before but I can´t find it now. I would like to load data from my api based on a condition. The condition is that the URL includes a specific parameter. Is it possible to set this up? I have a section on my page (show/hide) that only shows when the URL includes the parameter. When the section is hidden because there is no parameter I don´t want to load data from my API. Would it help to create a component of the section in this case?

Yes, this should be possible.
You can use On Load -> Switch: If condition is met (using the same logic as your show/hide) -> call API

If you set a path or query in the url, it will show up in the formula editor

Yes but I can only set the param and not access the current param. Or am I getting that wrong?

If you go to the Formula on the IF (in green on your screenshot) you can use the parameter to determine if you want the API to be called, similar to a show/hide formula
