Dynamic Path Parameters in External APIs

In this video, we will understand how to pass the dynamic path parameters in the External API calls. 

There are several REST API calls where you need to pass the dynamic parameters in the API URL/Path itself rather than in the body/header or params. So this video explains how to pass those dynamic parameters (called path parameters) in External APIs.

Path parameters are used to identify a resource uniquely. In the https://www.{server_host}/students/{student_id} example, student_id is identifying a unique student_id .

The Dynamic Path Parameters in External APIs feature in DrapCode enables seamless integration with third-party services by allowing users to pass dynamic values in API endpoints. This flexibility ensures that applications can fetch, update, or manipulate data based on real-time inputs, user interactions, or custom logic. Whether retrieving user-specific data or implementing dynamic queries, this feature enhances the efficiency of external API calls.

To further enhance data handling, explore Save Derived Field Values, which allows users to store computed or dynamically generated values for future use. This ensures that derived data remains accessible without needing to recalculate it each time.
