Xano allows seamless integration with external APIs, enabling you to leverage AI services such as OpenAI's GPT models. Here's how to set up these connections:

  • Storing API Keys: Securely store your API keys in Xano using environment variables. This practice keeps your credentials safe and easily manageable.

  • Building External API Requests: Utilize Xano's function stack to create API requests. Specify the endpoint, method, headers, and parameters as required by the AI service.

  • Parsing API Responses: After receiving a response, parse the data to extract relevant information for your application. Xano's built-in functions can help manipulate and store this data as needed.
