QB App to API and Vice Versa
There is a request from user to access a third party API through one of the QB application and probably would require to populate some of the fields from QB table to their application. Also need to do...

You can request that they add connectors/services but I would not expect it to happen right away. It might never happen.
These are just easier ways of setting up a connection to a service. You can absolutely still do it yourself via the API. There are a lot of different options, it just depends what you are trying to connect to.
What service are you trying to use?

What service are you trying to use?
- Thanks Austin.. Will it be possible for you to connect for 10-15 min to walk me through on how to use an API .. May be a simple example to show where exactly i need to go to start with in the QB app..
Would you like to share your number. I will call.. - https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/intro.html
What service are you trying to connect to? Chances are you are not the first one to try it and there may even be some good resources on this forum.
Another question would be, what are you planning on using for this? JavaScript in the browser like a button in QuickBase or a Code Page? Or are you wanting to make a program that just sits there and does API calls every now and then and updates records? Are you comfortable coding in any languages currently? - Hi Austin..
It's not yet finalized, under discussion but i can see we are probably going to connect to a contract management application through QB.. We would need to read and write the data in QB and to that application both.
I am not from Java background however i could understand and try to code as needed..
As i am new to QB and not aware of how to use API, thought of having a quick call and understand if someone has to use it, how to start, where to go in QB and what needs to be called/used to connect to a third party app.. What are different ways of doing it .. Once I have that knowledge, would be able to explore available options but need to get the initial heads up at the first place. - Your best bet might be to look into the QuickBase University. If you only really care about the API right now then check out https://university.quickbase.com/series/data-integration. You can also try searching this forum for the specific app name you are wanting to connect to.
There are many different ways to use the APi and a bunch of different SDKs on Github if you are more comfortable with another language. Most are not updated though.
I understand a call would probably be easier for you. You could try to contact Quickbase Coach or someone else like that and see if they can help with that or possibly an email.
