Can you tell me more about your specific use case?

You can already call an external API from Briefer and use its response within the notebook.

You could also upload any types of files and read them from disk - or even query those files using DuckDB if you want.




I must have missed that feature. I don't see it under Data Source or Integrations. Can you point me to it? Use case is mostly call an API and show one or more property values from the JSON object that comes back, or use it as a tabular data source.

Edit: Maybe I'm misunderstanding the UI and this is something you would do directly through Python?


That’s correct - it’s something you should do in Python.

To pull data from the API you can use the requests package which is already within your Python environment.

If you have sensitive API keys you can add them to your environment variables list and then read them with Python too so they’re not apparent in the code.
