Is it possible to get a JSON schema from an external API and generate a page based on it?

Hi @Nutr1k ,

JSON Forms does not provide functionality to fetch a JSON Schema from an external API itself. However, you can easily do this yourself and then hand in the schema into JSON Forms as a property the same way as if you were to define the schema locally.
