Hello, I’d like to send a database of video games from the IGDB site to my application. However, I don’t understand how I can send it there. Can anyone who knows anything about this please help me? ---

So IGDB has an API and you want to fetch from that API to bring data to your app? What type of backend do you use? ---

Do you have access to the Call API action (Business/Enterprise)? If not, you might want to try using the JavaScript column to fetch the API endpoint and bring back a JSON object. Work with that JSON object using a new table and split them into their own rows. ---

> [@Fetch Data from API and display array result in Collection](https://community.glideapps.com/t/fetch-data-from-api-and-display-array-result-in-collection/43398/4): > > Okay, so here is the general approach: I’d recommend creating a new helper table to do the work Add enough rows to this table to cater for the maximum number of array elements (eg. 20, or whatever) Add a RowID column Add a Lookup column that targets the RowID column. This will give you an array of RowIDs Now use the Find Element Index array column. The values should be the array of RowIDs, and you need to find the RowID. This will give you a column of Row numbers, beginning at zero. Call this… Here’s a pretty old thread, but I think you can start from here. ---
