#External APIs - REST API Chaining Response of an API as Request in another API
This video tutorial will guide you how to make an API call, store its response in the browser session and use this response in another API call.
DrapCode allows you to chain multiple REST APIs by using the response of one API call as the request body or parameter for another. This is particularly useful when working with external systems where dependent operations need to be triggered in sequence. You can configure these APIs in the External APIs section and map fields dynamically using response values.
This technique is ideal when handling tasks like registration followed by profile creation, where one API depends on the output of the previous one. While working on such API flows, you might also want to explore how to Edit and Update Data with Persistent Collection using External APIs. This can help maintain a synchronised and up-to-date dataset across external and internal platforms. Use response mapping tools to ensure seamless integration between API layers.
