No, I don’t believe so. The template column just gives you a static URL which can then be used in a screen component. When a user views the screen an API call would be made, but that just returns an image which is rendered on the screen. Nothing from the API response would be written back to the Glide table, so there is no table update.
I’d also imagine that browsers would cache the images, so that would reduce the number of calls (but not that that would matter anyway).
On June like last week I started creating a app like this for my brother because he like Geography subject and I’m trying to help him But still not finished and he don’t know that I’m building a app like this for him ( surprise )
The first thing I thought to do is this that need to download images of countries! But luckily I don’t wanted to do that because my dad already downloaded all countries images for a project of my sister when she was in grade 6
Then what I did was created a table in Glide and added the countries and uploaded the images. ( went only 4 hours for this ) And now I can add other information slowly for each country!
I also exported this to my computer so if my Glide table deleted by mistake I can import that! I have imported this to a new spreadsheet too and you can access it here and then you can also download this as a CSV ( File table > Download section > Comma-separated values ( csv ) ) and import it or connect that sheet with Glide!
