Good day, I am new to wix, with limited backend experience. I have some questions, thank you for your time in advance
I have a 3rd party API, which returns a json object with quite a few items, mostly text and images. This data gets updated periodically.
I want to use the API data to build categorized item sets and display it on a category page.
- Should I store this data in a dataset? How do I do this, how is it kept up to date?
- Should I just bind the json data directly to the pages? This seems like a lot more work as I have to create a filter too for categories?
Comments: I have been trying to get the wix-fetch to work, without much luck, not sure how I even test the function in the front end. I see no calls being made to the API. My API call is simple, just a url with a key in the end.
I’ve used this to guide me https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-accessing-third-party-services-with-the-fetch-api without any success.
Thank you very much.
