Last week I got access to the Retool Custom Libraries (still in beta). Today I had the chance to play with them. For simplicity, I am going to use a simple Python Library called yFinance installed. The installation was really easy. I then wired a simple workflow to talk to Yahoo Finance.
This workflow is accepting 3 parameters from our Retool App and then pass that along to the code block that uses the yfinance python library.
The next step is to create a Resource in Retool App to run the newly created Workflow. It was as easy as 1-2-3.
Once the Workflow was connected, I had to create a little transformer to transform the json object to an array.
Then I hooked up that transformer to a table and a chart.
That's about it.
Thank you Retool for creating this new Beta feature. As the next step, I am going to try the Airbyte Python Libraries. That will be a game changer for Retool Dashboards
Thank you for reading this.
