Lzrbeem247 Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Hi, I’ll preface to say this is pretty far beyond my knowledge so Im not sure if this is possible but any and all help is appreciated! I’m trying to pull text data from an outside API to place in a Publisher document that I can then format before printing. Basically this is a custom designed draft menu that is pulling data from Untappd automatically so anyone can print a new updated menu as different beers are tapped. Hopefully this makes sense and I’m happy to elaborate if anyone thinks this is possible. Thanks!
Staff Lee D Posted July 17, 2023 Staff Posted July 17, 2023 @Lzrbeem247 Welcome to the forums. Using Affinity Publisher you have the option of setting up a Data Merge using an external data source. When you merge it will pull the specific data and populate the fields you setup and create a new document, see this Help article for more information. We also have an Affinity Spotlight article that goes through the process. Currently being tested in our 2.2 beta are some data merge improvements. Such as the ability to have URLS, which may be beneficial if your data source is not file based.
