Hello community !
I’m having an issue with glide using API calls ! I’m trying to call an external API in glide (the API streams some data via HTTP) but it seems that glide can’t receive streaming data returned in response by calling that API endpoint!
Is there a way in glide to get the streaming http response when calling the api,
Because having data in real-time or near real-time is essential in my case ?

I’m interested in this as well since I know OpenAI calls can be streamed. It would make for a much friendlier user experience in my opinion, but I haven’t figured that out.

@ThinhDinh exactly
Especially in cases like mine when the user is interested only on new data,

Can you explain on the “new data” part? How is it related to “streaming”?

Yeah, I meant seniors like comparators apps
like skyscanner for example:
ones you click, it gives all flights and their prices from all airlines in real time or near-real-time (so here the user is only interested on new data “new filghts” not those of yesterday for instance)
in my case it the same thing i want when ever the user clicke a button or something glide receives http streaming data .
any suggestions ?

I feel like you’re talking about making an API call and then receive a real-time response, so more like the “current” data rather than the way it is presented (which is “streaming”).
If that’s the case, the Call API action should work, as long as you have a plan that gets access to it. You should be able to receive data back to a column, and proceed to display that data to the user after some parsing work.

I’ve tried that but HTTP version used in glide doesn’t accept streaming HTTP responses (same as postman for example)
