I’m not sure I understand the question. Please don’t hesitate to correct me if I misunderstood.

If you’re comfortable calling your own API, you should be able to use Webflow’s API to store items into Webflow’s ecommerce feature. It’s well documented.

The only problem is that you have to do it server-side. You cannot do it in javascript on your site’s HTML, because that would reveal your secret API token to anyone who looks at your source.

Hey @JudoHacker It would be great if you give me information about pulling data from third-party api to webflow CMS.
Can I pull data from Coingecko API to directly Webflow CMS and remember the data will be changed every hour or 24 hour. So is it possible to when data changes in the API it will be automatically change on the CMS too ??
