Ive been trying to see if i can make my own "Api's" to use for snap tho im running into an issue. when i use the url block its just returning me the code i have on the page not the page value. if anyone has anything that could help please lmk. https://batteryapi1.glitch.me/ // Override the page…

you cant get device battery from the backend

but maybe nodejs could use a frontend then rescript it before sending the information to snap

thats not how the url block works as already explained by @ego-lay_atman-bay the URL block returns the data that was sent by the server. it does not run any javascript.

you just said [image] avi_shor: nodejs could use a frontend then rescript it you cannot get a devices battery from the backend. you can get it by running javascript on the frontend, however the URL block only returns the data sent from the server. it cannot execute code.

[image] joecooldoo: devices battery from the backend. you can get it by running javascript on the frontend, however the URL block only returns the data but im using glitch. i can run js

On the backend maybe, but you can't run js on the frontend if you're making an api. Basically, when making an api, no code can run on the frontend, it all has to run on the backend.

so then i dont think getting the device battery percent is possible.

unless yk how to get it in backend

you can't unless for some reason the browser/snap decides it wants to send its battery data with the request (which it has no reason to and therefore does not)
