Hi Everyone!
Is it possible to query data with a CURL type request? For example - I run this command to get data from an online source in XML. Would there be a way to get this information into retool?
curl "https://marketnews.usda.gov/mnp/fv-report?&commAbr=BROC&step3date=true&locAbr=&repType=shipPriceDaily&refine=false&Run=Run&type=shipPrice&repTypeChanger=shipPriceDaily&environment=&_environment=1&locAbrPass=ALL%7C%7C&locChoose=comState&commodityClass=allcommodity&locAbrlength=1&organic=&repDate=11%2F02%2F2022&endDate=11%2F02%2F2022&format=xml&rebuild=false"
Hello @darenhunter,
This is possible.
To get the Data into Retool, you would have to set up a Rest-API resource and run this as a GET request.
\
This will retrieve your data and retool can parse it.
You would need to write some form of JS query to manipulate this data into a form that can be loaded to a table component\
Here is how I set up my resource
Alternatively, you can add an XML parser library like fast-xml-parser to retool.
then use this to parse your data with ease unto a table
Docs for using libraries in Retool
I have attached an export of the App to help you get started
XMLParser.json
Oh my word- thank you so much for this! So so helpful!
