Appwrite Database

Now build applications on top of your Appwrite database.

Connection

ToolJet connects to your Appwrite app using :

Host (API endpoint)
Project ID
Secret key

You'll find the Secret key and other credentials on your Appwrite's project settings page. You may need to create a new key if you don't have one already.

:::info You should also set the scope for access to a particular resource. Learn more about the API keys and scopes here. :::

To connect Appwrite datasource to your ToolJet application, go to the data source manager on the left-sidebar and click on the + button. Select Appwrite from the list of available datasources, provide the credentials and click Save. It is recommended to check the connection by clicking on 'Test connection' button to verify if the service account can access Appwrite from the ToolJet server.

Querying Appwrite

After setting up the Appwrite datasource, you can click on the + button of the query manager at the bottom panel of the editor and select the Appwrite data source that you added in the previous step.

After selecting Appwrite datasource, select the operation that you want to perform on the Appwrite database and click Save to save the query.
