How to Connect Custom REST API Endpoints to Gravity Forms Autocomplete Fields

Last updated: August 16, 2026 β€’ Author:
Table of Contents

Need to populate Gravity Forms input fields with dynamic data from an external CRM, ERP, or internal database API? With the Gravity Forms Advanced Autocomplete Field Addon, you can connect directly to any third-party JSON REST API without writing complex custom JavaScript.

How REST API Autocomplete Works

As the user types into the form field, the addon sends an asynchronous HTTP request to your configured REST endpoint, parses the returned JSON array, and presents matched items in an intuitive dropdown list.

Configuration Steps

  • Data Source: Set Data Source to Custom REST API.
  • API Endpoint URL: Enter your API endpoint (e.g., https://api.example.com/v1/cities?search={search}).
  • JSON Key Mapping: Specify the JSON response properties to use for the displayed label and submitted form value (e.g., name for label, id or sku for value).
  • Headers & Authentication: Pass Bearer tokens or API keys securely in the request headers.
