Use this interactive demo to learn how to integrate an external API into your Framer project using a custom code component.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to integrate an API in Framer by creating a custom code component that fetches and displays dynamic data from an external source. Follow the step-by-step walkthrough to connect your Framer design to live data without leaving the editor.


Steps

  1. Open your Framer project to get started.
  2. Go to the Assets panel to access your design assets library for images, icons, and components.
  3. Navigate to the Code section and click the add icon.
  4. Select New Code File to begin creating your custom component.
  5. Add a title for your new component.
  6. Click Create to finalize your component and add it to your design library.
  7. Complete your API configuration with the closing parameter, then save your code using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S.
  8. Connect your design to dynamic data using the API fetcher.
  9. Open your API configuration to connect with external data sources and finalize the integration.

📌 Why this matters

Integrating an external API directly into Framer allows designers and developers to build websites and prototypes powered by live, dynamic data without switching between tools. Framer's built-in code component editor and API fetcher make it possible to fetch real-time content from any external source and render it natively in your design. This capability bridges the gap between static design and production-ready web development, enabling teams to ship data-driven websites faster. For teams evaluating no-code and low-code website builders, Framer's API integration support is a key differentiator that reduces reliance on separate development workflows.
