Hi, I want to use groceryCRUD to make CRUD page for my project. The problem is I don't have direct access to database, instead I am given access to the API to do the same thing at the database (CRUD). So for example when I want to do create I have to pass the parameters with POST method to http://api.example.com/create and then retrieve the result in JSON form. Have anyone tried to customize groceryCRUD to do this? Where should I start customizing grocery CRUD to get it working with REST API?

All the queries that grocery CRUD uses are only in file application/models/grocery_crud_model.php . So if you try to change ALL the methods of grocery_CRUD_Model for example:
change this:

function db_insert($post_array)

	{

	 $insert = $this->db->insert($this->table_name,$post_array);

	 if($insert)

	 {

	 return $this->db->insert_id();

	 }

	 return false;

	}

to this:

function db_insert($post_array)

	{

		 $curl_result = my_service($post_array,'insert');



		return  $curl_result;//true or false

	}

e.t.c....

For now it is the only solution but you can have a try if you have time of course to do it.
