Hi everyone,
I have Members Pages on my WixSite. One of these pages is connected to a dataset that each member can modify in order to see their data later on via a specific design.
What I would like to do:
As the webmaster, I want to be able to access and edit each Member’s dataset via my own computer (without having to go on my WixSite, connect and manually modify anything).
For example, I would have a code on my desktop, run it through my desktop terminal which would allow me to connect to Wix and modify the Members’ dataset.
In other words:
How to use WixCode (or any other language) from my desktop terminal/console rather than doing so in Wix Code Panel, in order to control my WixSite ?
Thank you.
Hey,
The command-line interface doesn’t exist.
But it’s possible to use your own server for managing the data. For instance, you can set up an HTTP server using whatever technology you like (with any kind of interface you like), and provide a public API to manage the data. Then, on your site, you can create a back-end module consisting of functions that call your public API using wix-fetch - Velo API Reference - Wix.com and use it in your page code instead of the dataset.
Actually, there’s another way around. You can still use datasets and write a back-end module that exposes a public API for your site. So you can consume the API using a CLI client. See wix-http-functions - Velo API Reference - Wix.com.
But then you need to think of security measures. Obviously, the API shouldn’t grant unlimited access to every called. So you’ll need to think of an authorization mechanism, maybe some simple password system to start with.
