The purpose of transactions is to protect your data from partial database updates that fail to be complete. The Transaction API is now available for Codeless.
With the Transaction API, our Database can execute multiple database requests grouped into a single transaction. When any one of these grouped database operations fails, the entire transaction is rolled back – meaning any other changes within the same transaction are canceled.
The OAuth API allows you to get the full benefits of third-party OAuth login but with a new Codeless block, your application can include login with the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Discord, GitHub, Spotify, and more.
In addition to the OAuth API, Backendless has also added new functionality for adding email attachments via API, which is also now available in Codeless. Email attachments – PDFs, images, videos, etc. – can even be added to email templates using Codeless. Read on to learn more.
If you've worked with Backendless API for a while, you may occasionally run into a situation where the functionality you'd like to have isn't readily available. One such function is the programmatic management of your application's data tables. For instance, you may need to clear up all the data and recreate the table structure with specific columns on demand while developing your app. This article will show you how to do that and more.
Backendless essentially has two APIs: the Client API and the Console API. The former is the one used by Backendless' Client SDKs and which is in effect in our REST SDK. The latter is the API that the Developers' Console is using, hence the name. Different providers may have different names for that one, such as Admin API or Management API, so be aware that the terms may sometimes be used interchangeably.
