Hi @ionut_51249. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To connect a REST API with the components of your application in refine, you need to use the dataProvider prop of the Refine component. The dataProvider is responsible for communicating with your API. Here is an example of how to set it up:

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  

const API_URL = "<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";>  

function App() {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}  
 /* ... */  
 />  
 );  
}

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import dataProvider from "@refinedev/simple-rest";  

const API_URL = "<https://api.fake-rest.refine.dev";>  

function App() {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider(API_URL)}  
 /* ... */  
 />  
 );  
}

In this example, dataProvider is imported from @refinedev/simple-rest, which is a built-in REST data provider in refine. The API_URL is the base URL of your REST API. You can also customize the data provider to work with a REST API that doesn't follow the simple-rest design. Here's how to do it: 1. Run the swizzle command in the project directory:

npm run refine swizzle

npm run refine swizzle

2. Select @refinedev/simple-rest from the list of available data providers. 3. Edit the /rest-data-provider/index.ts file to customize the data provider. 4. Pass the customized data provider to the dataProvider prop of the Refine component.

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { dataProvider } from "./rest-data-provider";  

const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider}  
 /* ... */  
 />  
 );  
};

import { Refine } from "@refinedev/core";  
import { dataProvider } from "./rest-data-provider";  

const App = () => {  
 return (  
 <Refine  
 dataProvider={dataProvider}  
 /* ... */  
 />  
 );  
};
