Can Twidget make API calls so I can create dashboards for my users while continuing to use GoodBarber?
Answered by Twidget
Yes — Twidget can make external API calls and is suitable for building APIs and dashboards consumed by other platforms.
Manage tables via API
Yes. You can manage tables via Twidget’s API.
How Twidget compares to no‑code automation tools
Twidget goes beyond simple automations: you can create full, complex APIs that serve front‑end clients, mobile apps, or games, not just automation flows. It can therefore both replace and complement no‑code automation tools depending on your needs.
See our use‑case examples for ideas: https...
Setting custom status codes in API output
Successful responses default to HTTP 200. Use the validate function to detect invalid input and throw an error — that will return an appropriate non‑200 status code. See the linked tutorial for details.

GDPR compliance and custom endpoint domains
Yes — Twidget is GDPR compliant.
We are working on adding support for custom domains (CNAME) for endpoints.
Using Twidget as an API proxy
Yes. Call the third‑party API from a Twidget endpoint and return the response to your customers — this effectively proxies the third‑party service.
