    Calling own API

    Hi

    I am new to Umbraco and just trying to work out how to structure an application. We have our own custom database sitting behind our own API. What is the best way to call our own API and show the data? Should I use a Surface Controller?

    Many thanks

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,

    Welcome to Our Umbraco Forum.

    For working with data UmbracoApiController is better then SurfaceController - https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/

    Will Umbraco site retreive data from your custom database?

    Thanks,

    Alex
