In this guide we’ll see how you can make http requests in UI Builder and work with 3rd party data.

We’ll use a predefined API that gets created using Airtable as part of the Product Catalog template.

The data in this template is available via REST API endpoints.

We’ll build a conversational AI application that uses the following API endpoints from the template:

• List Vendor Contacts Records (GET)
• Retrieve a Vendor Contact Record (GET)
• Create Vendor contacts records (POST)
• Update Vendor contacts records (PATCH)
• Delete Vendor contacts records (DELETE)

Each of these will let us manipulate vendor contact records in the Airtable backend.  You can read more detailed about these endpoints here.
