How to load data from an API

Quickly load data from a REST API. This video answers the questions: How to quickly load data from a REST API? How to process REST Data? We will go over how you can call a REST API, retrieve data from it and load that data into a database. Linx is a general-purpose, low-code platform for backends. Developers use Linx to build, test, deploy and manage backend solutions such as APIs, integrations and automation.

Simple REST API Creation for Data Distribution

This is a short, real-world example of how a REST API can be created using Linx. The API will allow for data retrieval from a database. You can create endpoints using a wizard. Linx is a general-purpose, low-code platform for backends. Developers use Linx to build, test, deploy and manage backend solutions such as APIs, integrations and automation.

From Excel to API in minutes

Read data from an Excel file and host that data in a REST API in minutes by using a low-code platform. You can create your own application that will retrieve data from any Excel file. Easily write that data to a new file, apply enrichment and transformation, write it to a database or host it directly on a REST API. How to quickly create an API? Or an integration application? Why not give Low-Code platforms a try?

Running a BI Team with limited resources

Business Intelligence (BI) teams often face several resource constraints that can impact their ability to deliver their objectives effectively. They must run effective operations with limited time, resources, budget and people. The role can be incredibly challenging when multiple projects are highly prioritised, where data and reports were required yesterday. That said, there are ways to make these challenges more manageable.

Back-end application hosting made easy

For the day-to-day developer, deployment and hosting, plus the subsequent management of solutions in production, is a considerable challenge, especially if it’s outside their immediate skill set. Hosting applications can be complex. Besides the obvious challenges of scalability, security, and reliability (up-time), you must consider where your application will be hosted, how you plan to deploy it, how to monitor it, and more.

Quickly create Data APIs

Creating a Data API for your organization is crucial to digital transformation. In this video, we will be going into detail on how to set up a data API and how it can easily be hosted and tested using Linx. You can create an API and define endpoints using a wizard. Read from any data source, and host your API in under 10 minutes, depending on complexity and scale. You can also test your API locally before deploying, meaning you can view precisely what your clients will see, even before your application hits your dev server.

Quick and easy CRUD APIs

CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) is a set of operations allowing users to interact with a database simply and consistently. Creating a CRUD API allows other systems and developers to interact easily with a data store or set. By providing a simple and consistent set of operations, CRUD APIs make it easy to build, scale, and secure applications. Some benefits of a CRUD API include When developing a CRUD API, there are many options to choose from.
