Question:
Can I use wix HTTP Functions to access wix-data collections OUTSIDE of wix for a native mobile app?
Product:
EditorX (soon to be Wix Studio)
What are you trying to achieve:
I’ve created a custom webApp using EditorX, and now I’m looking to potentially create a native mobile app connected to my wix site data. I’ve never done this before, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to access wix-data OUTSIDE of wix for a native app. I came across this Wix DOC on Exposing a Site API with HTTP Functions, and I’m wondering:
- Is it possible to use HTTP Functions to connect collections within the wix-data API to an external native mobile app (and have read/write functionality from that mobile app back to the wix-data collections)?
- Does anyone have any suggested resources/tutorials/advice on doing something like this?
What have you already tried:
I’m currently googling and checking youtube but haven’t come across anything particularly clear. I guess this is going to be one of those “treasure hunt” situations where I try to piece together a solution from many different resources
Additional information:
NOTE: I’m probably about average with my wix velo skills, but still rather new to much of the backend beyond using wix-backend APIs. BUT I’m willing to dive into this head first, no matter how difficult the suggestion might be
Thanks, everyone!
