Bit form API

An API (Application Protocol Interface) defines a set of functions that interact with other software components or applications or you can call microservices between web applications. If any web application or software needs any information from another software, they have to make a call or request to get the information. This specific call or request is called API.

To simplify this context, we can take an example that a user installed a form plugin from which he/she wants to deliver form data to our Bit Form plugin where the user has already made a form. What the user has to do is to make an API request to Bit Form. In response, users will get all the data that they have requested will be stored in Bit Form.

API Key Option

  1. Go to Bit form Settings and then navigate to API
  2. Copy your API Key then use it in the request header.

In this API request user have to indicate the specific id to form_id in which fields will be used to fetch information. Suppose a client sent an API request, under a specific form some field’s information will be inserted where , typ = field typelbl = field label nameph = a indicator of the fields action. The valid : {} denotes True/False. If the required field is enabled then valid : {} will return True otherwise valid : {} will be empty. Then fieldkeysis the key name of the input field. Clients can also run workflows using conditional logic by sending API requests. As example, if a client wants any records to be created & submitted, an email notification will be sent. Clients have to set this workflow & have to mention that specific workflow name on their API request. They can set actions like : Success MessageRedirect URLWeb hookIntegration and run those actions through our API request. The workflow_key_name is the input key name of all the created workflows.
