Title: Question about API option Last modified: April 25, 2025 --- # Question about API option * Resolved [Fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/) * (@fantou) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/) * Hello there ! * With Forminator, could it be possible to do something like the search bar of this site :[https://www.meilleursagents.com/estimation-immobiliere/](https://www.meilleursagents.com/estimation-immobiliere/) On my site, I would like this scenario :-Insert a filed where users can enter an adress-This adress is send to an external app which give some information about the adress and the app displays the results directly into the app * With the Forminator’s API, is this something that could be done ? For example with this API [https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_form_field](https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_form_field)? * Have a nice day !

You’ll have to use get_entries to grab the submitted data in Forminator: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_entries](https://wpmudev.com/docs/api-plugin-development/forminator-api-docs/#method-get_entries) * However, what you have mentioned would require custom coding. Forminator can be used to create the address input field and retrieve the data, but the rest of your scenario, ie sending the address to an external app and displaying the results directly on your site, requires custom development. * You could explore the webhook if you are looking to extend it further: * [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#webhook](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#webhook) * Regards, * Nithin * Thread Starter [Fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/) * (@fantou) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/#post-18442471) * Hi Nithin, thanks for your valuables informations, it helps ! * Indeed the webhook seems the good solution. I will just have to send the information to the app with the webhook, isn’t it ? * Plugin Support [Saurabh – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support7/) * (@wpmudev-support7) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/#post-18442753) * Hello [@fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/) * Hope you’re doing well today! * > I will just have to send the information to the app with the webhook, isn’t > it ? * Indeed, the Webhook should carry the necessary data that you can fetch on your app, it will act as a link between your form and the app. * Hope the information helps. * Kind Regards, Saurabh * Thread Starter [Fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/) * (@fantou) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/#post-18442917) * Hello Saurabh * Thanks for your answer, it helps indeed ! One more thing : I will have to set a “redirection page’s link” when submitting the form for displaying the app’s page with the information send by the webhook, isn’t it ? * Have a nice day ! * Plugin Support [Nithin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport11/) * (@wpmudevsupport11) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/#post-18444936) * Hi [@fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/), * >  I will have to set a “redirection page’s link” when submitting the form for > displaying the app’s page with the information send by the webhook, isn’t it? * Is it after the form submission? The only feature the form supports out of the box for redirection would be the “After Submission” settings under the “Behavior” tab as mentioned here: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#after-submission-behavior](https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#after-submission-behavior) Are you referring to the above aspect? * Regards, Nithin * Thread Starter [Fantou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fantou/) * (@fantou) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-api-option/#post-18446493) * Hi [@wpmudevsupport11](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport11/), * Thanks for your answer. Yes this is this setting. But I think I will have to add a parameter to the URL for showing the app with the results. And it’s cool because Forminator has already thought about it ! ;p * Thanks for your help ! Have a nice day !
