2) Twidget supports a variety of database management features and real‑time data processing workflows. While native database tri...

Yes — Twidget creates REST APIs and can call other REST APIs.

Currently you need to read and copy your data into Twidget to use it natively. We are working on direct integrations with databases like MySQL and MongoDB in the future.

Twidget endpoints support all HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.).

Twidget includes an API client with features similar to Postman, but its purpose is broader — building APIs and automations — so it is not intended as a direct replacement for Postman.

Add a user_id field to the Appointment table, then create an endpoint that accepts user_id as a path or query parameter and uses it to query the Appointment table to return related appointment details.

Yes. Twidget is well suited for building integrations in a multi‑tenant setup. Its flexible architecture lets you create and manage APIs and integrations for each tenant and scale as needed.

Use the Concat command to combine text with an input variable (e.g., "Hi there, " + NAME).

Yes. Add a field to your datastore to store the user's _id when saving data. Then filter GET, PUT, and DELETE operations so they only affect records that match the authenticated user's id. This enforces per‑user access control.

You can create reusable custom functions through the no‑code builder. These functions can perform validations such as password complexity checks.

Data returned from the datastore can be manipulated and aggregated as needed within your endpoints or functions.

See the custom functions t...

Follow the tutorial for sending an HTTP request and retrieving image data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrY_7xnA10g&t=1s

Use the Upload File command to save the image bytes into the datastore.

Yes. Twidget can aggregate events from platforms whose APIs are accessible (Google Calendar, Meetup, Facebook, etc.) and serve that data to your website or event plugin.

Make sure you reference variables using the proper variable type (not as literal text). Use the platform variable reference (the variable picker/type) so the JSON template injects the actual value rather than a literal string.

Yes. Create an API endpoint in Twidget that calls Tarvent’s API to send the email. Configure your WordPress form to call the Twidget endpoint on submit to start that workflow.

Yes. Twidget can integrate with public APIs like PubMed and Semantic Scholar to run dynamic queries and retrieve titles and abstracts. You can also integrate AI models to assemble queries and orchestrate retrieval and processing workflows.

You can update an endpoint’s security settings after creation. Open the endpoint’s options menu (top‑right) and choose "Update endpoint" to add Bearer token (or other) authentication — there’s no need to recreate the endpoint.

There is no requirement to force header names to lowercase in the API client. You can enter headers with any casing; the client accepts the header names you provide.

Yes. Use Twidget’s Events feature to schedule CSV downloads. Build commands to fetch the CSV text, parse and process it (rename/exclude columns, transform values), and then send the processed data to the target webshop via HTTP requests.

To access an HTTP response, use response properties such as .status and .data, and reference fields with dot notation (e.g., response.data.fieldName). See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrY_7xnA10g

If database operations return null during endpoint tests, ensure you have Live Data enabled...

Use scheduled Events. Create an event that runs every 60 seconds and updates the database array (remove the first item). The scheduled event can fetch the record, modify the array (shift/remove the first element), and save the updated array back to the datastore. See the scheduled events tutorial...

Dashes are allowed in object field names but when creating variable names the platform converts dashes to underscores. If you need a variable name, use underscores; for object fields you can use dashes where supported.

Create a Twidget endpoint that orchestrates the required API calls. Add steps to call each external API (Telegram, Gemini, short link, Bluesky). Your bot then makes a single request to the Twidget endpoint, which performs the calls and returns the combined result. Store API keys as global variabl...

Query parameters are passed after a "?" in the URL. For example: api.example.com/check/{auth_token}?query={query_parameter}. Note that it’s more secure to send auth tokens in an Authorization header rather than embedding them in the URL. See the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHULlNQ5K...

Open the API (or page) settings, scroll to the Custom Domain input and follow the on‑screen instructions to configure your CNAME and DNS settings.

Path, query, and header inputs default to text. Convert the input to a number using the "Convert to Number" command before using it to query the database.

If the external platform (Trafft) does not expose availability via an API endpoint, Twidget cannot retrieve that data. Twidget relies on the external API to access such information. If Trafft adds the appropriate endpoints in the future, Twidget can integrate with them.

If you want help des...

Connect to Supabase via its REST API: create HTTP Request commands in Twidget that call Supabase’s API endpoints. Reference: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/api and see this example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrY_7xnA10g

That error usually occurs when the parameters field is not provided as an object. Ensure the Parameters input of the HTTP Request command is an object type (not a string or other type).

External response details are controlled by the external API server — we surface what the server returns. Regarding logging request payloads, Twidget avoids storing full request logs that could contain sensitive data. If you need more debugging detail, let us know which specific response fields o...

Set the HTTP Request headers field to an object and add keys such as Content‑Type and Authorization. For Authorization, set the field to Variable and concatenate the prefix and key (for example: 'Bearer' + $global.apiKey) or use the platform’s variable expression to build the header value.

...

The Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation is available on the API page in your Twidget environment.

Use the Validate commands to check that the field exists and throw an error if it does not. This will return a non‑200 response and prevent the record from being created. See the validate tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAbQP37ImUI&pp=0gcJCU8JAYcqIYzv

Quoted field names refer to table fields correctly. If you are testing in the API Client or the endpoint test, make sure Live Data is enabled to see actual records rather than mock data.

One approach: keep company_id and manager_id fields on the Employee table. Use Get Multiple Data filtered by company_id to fetch employees, then for each employee fetch the manager by manager_id (this results in multiple calls).

For better efficiency: perform a single Get Multiple Data to f...

Select the element and press the Delete key, or use the Delete option available in the toolbar options dropdown.

Global variables are accessible only in server‑side contexts (endpoints, server functions, events). They are not available inside client‑side code or client functions.

By default tokens last 24 hours (86,400 seconds). You can increase the token expiration by editing the command that generates the token in the endpoint — the expirat...

Convert the incoming date text input to a Date (or the platform’s date object) and then query the database using that date field. A working datetime format is like 2025-08-08T00:00:00.

To append a time suffix to a date string, use the Concat command (for example, concat(dateText, 'T00:00:00...

When uploading files with curl use the --form parameter. Example:

curl --location 'http://f343f.twidget.io/files/single' \ --form 'single=@"/OneDrive/Pictures/image.jpg"' \ --form 'path="/folder/file.png"'

This uses multipart/form-data to send the file.
