How can I create a single URL where a query parameter is passed along with an auth token, such as api.example.com/check/{query_parameter}/{auth_token}?
Answered by Twidget
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.

Setting up a custom domain

Number fields returning null in path parameters
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.

Connecting to Supabase
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
HTTP request error: "target must be an object"
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).
