Connecting external database

[Ivan Hoi Wang LAW]

Hello, I'm a new appery user. I need to connect external database. Is there a simple tutorial or documentation that can help me building that connection? thanks!

Hi -

Appery.io works with RESTful services, so your external database need to be exposed with REST service to communicate with Appery.io app.

We have such video showing how to connect using REST Xpress -- https://youtu.be/H-bpNfLjFJI

If I have to authorize ip access from appery service, is there a way I can find out rest api ip to set that up?

Hi Ivan,

You need to wrap your external DB with REST api.

Then you can use this REST api from your app.

Please follow this tutorial to understand how to work with 3rd party REST api:
