External API Values for WIX Elements

Let’s say we add a button to our page and we want this button to have a dynamic title taken from an external API.

It would be cool if I could checkbox URL Value and then enter a fully qualified URL to where the button value should be taken. The returning string will be the label.

This would be very useful and a much quicker way than coding a WIX Fetch for all controls. Let’s say I want some text from a weather API or News Site API. Using this function would open up some possabilities to get values into WIX without coding.

I could just ask a coder to make the API that returns the labels I want. I could also setup this to send WIX properties along the requested post automatically like sitename, siteurl, current user if logged in, controls name or ID that requests the info.

If I could set cache time as well I could make sure the page gets speedy anyway.

Maybe really stupid request.
