Can i make a third party rest api call in widgetIsLoaded?

If we can , how can we pass that api data from widgetIsLoaded to afterRender ?

Hello,

The widgetIsLoaded is a synchronous function and you can't make an async call from it. The widgetIsLoaded is called once to detect whether a 3rd party widget available on the page or not. You can make an async call in any other part of your code and pass settings to a custom widget instance.
