Drop down api + live copy field

Hi,
I have 2 problems:

I want to get city names and streets from a gov api and add it to my city and streets field, can someone help me do it? Where do i put this code?
I want to show on the same form but on another page the choices that the user did on previews field, is that possible?
I tried few things but didnt succeed.
Thanks!
Guy

Hi Anna,

Assuming the API returns JSON, this sounds like a good fit for GP Populate Anything and the following snippet.

gravitywiz/snippet-library/blob/master/experimental/gppa-object-type-json-api.php

<?php
/**
 * Gravity Perks // Populate Anything // JSON API Object Type
 * https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-populate-anything/
 *
 * This snippet adds a new Object Type that pulls from a JSON file containing airports and their IATA codes.
 * Use this snippet as a starting point for other HTTP-based APIs that you would like to populate fields from.
 *
 * Installation: https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/how-do-i-install-a-snippet/
 */
class GPPA_Object_Type_JSON_API extends GPPA_Object_Type {

	public function __construct( $id ) {
		parent::__construct( $id );

		add_action( 'gppa_pre_object_type_query_' . $this->id, array( $this, 'add_filter_hooks' ) );
	}

	public function add_filter_hooks() {
		add_filter( 'gppa_object_type_' . $this->id . '_filter', array( $this, 'process_filter_default' ), 10, 4 );

This file has been truncated. show original

You’ll have to make some changes to the snippet to make it compatible with your particular API, but if you have a Pro Gravity Perks license, we’ll be happy to help.

For previewing the results, Populate Anything’s Live Merge Tags make this easy. Simply add an HTML field the form, and insert your merge tag like this: @{all_fields}
