Connect to real estate API instead of CMS

At a glance

The community member is wondering if it's possible to connect directly to a real estate API instead of bringing the data into a CMS and then into Webstudio. The issue is that the API requires a temporary access token before retrieving real estate records. The community member is unsure if this can be done with Webstudio or if additional technology is needed. They have provided a diagram and documentation for the API process, but haven't found an example of getting the temporary access token server-side. The community member is a no/low coder and is hoping to avoid the high storage costs associated with pulling records into a CMS.

In the comments, another community member expresses interest in getting more information on this topic. Another comment suggests that this can currently be done only with custom JavaScript in HTML embeds.

I am wondering if its easy to connect to a real estate API directly instead of bringing that data into a CMS then into Webstudio. The problem is that this API first needs to get a temporary access token, before it can get real estate records. Is it possible to do this with Webstudio or do I need other technology as well? Here is a diagram of what is the process along with the documentation:

I haven't seen an example yet about getting a temporary access token server side. I am a no/low coder so any help or advice is very much appreciated! I am hoping I don't have to pull records into a CMS and have high storage costs from all the photos. Maybe it is a good use case for Webstudio.
