Add APIs and Environment Variables

Easily add APIs manually or upload Postman collection to integrate API in your app later.

Go to your iOS app builder, on screen list select API integration from the left menu. Here, you can Add new API, Delete or Edit an existing one.

To add a new one, click on Add new API.

You can add APIs using two ways:​

  • Add APIs manually by clicking on the Add new API button. It will redirect you to the API runner page.

    Step 1:​

    Select the API method from the top-left and enter the URL. Below is the list of methods that are supported;
