With the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence, we’re starting to see even more powerful web services enter the market. External services like Google Maps, PayPal, and PowerBI (to name a few) provide extra functionality which greatly improves user experience if implemented correctly.
Through the Block Store: Rather than needing to build integrations yourself, a large selection of web service endpoints are readily available from the block store. These include services like Google Maps or Twillio which can be ‘installed’ with a single click. Developers can also save their own integrations or application modules here for re-use at a later stage.
Custom Integrations: Adding a custom API to your own application in Betty Blocks is done with the web service tool. All you need to do is fill in the host and endpoint information to create any JSON, XML, GraphQL or REST API. Once you’ve filled in the correct data, Betty Blocks automatically creates data models based on the information returned by the endpoint.
