The Open API integration connects Jet Admin to any REST API described by an OpenAPI spec, so you can call an endpoint, authenticate a request, and map response fields directly from a Jet Admin app instead of writing custom integration code. It's a way to turn a documented API into tables and forms in minutes.

Once connected, API data can be joined to records in your own database, scoped by role, and used in a form or approval workflow. Every action is recorded in Jet Admin's audit log alongside the rest of your app's activity.

Key benefits

• No custom code. Import a spec and start calling endpoints right away.
• Flexible authentication. Attach an API key, bearer token, or OAuth credential to any request.
• Clean field mapping. Map a response's JSON fields to the columns your table needs.
• Full audit trail. Every API call made from Jet Admin is logged for review.

How to connect Jet Admin with Open API

1. In Jet Admin, select Open API as a Data Source.
2. Import your OpenAPI spec file or URL.
3. Choose the authentication method your API requires.
4. Test the connection to confirm data loads correctly.
5. Build a table, form, or automated action using the API's endpoints.
