Creating a new API Request Action

  1. Select the object that you want to add the event to.
  2. On the Events panel, add an event that can trigger an API request like Start, Mouse Down / Up / Press, Key Down / Up / Press, etc.
  3. Open the Event and add an API Request Action.
  4. Expand the API Request Action and from the drop-down list select the API you would like to request the data from.
