Unlock more data flexibility
With the REST API integration, you can connect Softr to any data source that has an API, including Jira, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Stripe, Shopify, and more. Choose one of Softr's API templates or connect your own API manually to get started.
Bring siloed data into one application
Create a central hub for your users to view data from different sources in one application — without having to use third-party tools or workarounds. Bring in any data source you need as your tools and workflows evolve.
Build more advanced internal tools and portals
Build powerful tools on top of REST API endpoints without being a developer. Or expand existing app capabilities by connecting to payment systems, CRMs, issue ticketing, and more.
How it works
1. Set up the API connection
Choose from available templates or add your preferred API manually, configuring it with the necessary headers and authentication.
2. Create endpoints
Define your desired endpoints by inputting the relevant parameters and options for your API call. Optimize your API responses by using transformers.
Map data to your Softr app
Use the configured API calls to populate data blocks in your Softr apps, binding data fields to designated content areas like images, addresses, and pricing.
