APIs

The APIs section is where you connect to REST APIs and non-SQL datasources. It sits alongside SQL tables: use SQL tables for relational databases, and APIs for everything else.

Adding a new API source

What you can connect​

Selecting + in the APIs section opens the Add new API dialog:

  • REST API — connect to any external HTTP/REST service and build reusable queries.

Under Other connectors you can also connect these non-SQL datasources:

  • Firestore — Google Cloud Firestore.
  • MongoDB — document database.
  • Redis — key/value store.
  • MinIO — S3-compatible object storage (also used for file uploads).

How it works​

Each connector is configured once with its connection details (credentials, base URL, hosts, and so on). You then create queries against the connection — for example a REST request, a MongoDB find, or a Redis command — and bind those queries to components in your apps.

Saved queries appear under their connection in the navigation, ready to reuse across screens.
