REST API call returns values from one table, but how would one handle relationships?

Queries and Resources
1

Just to use a simple example, I’m using REST as a resource, and it retrieves a list of Opportunities from another CRM system. The problem though is things like Company Name are part of the Companies table, which relate to Opportunities via the id_company field.

If I wanted to have relationships work, would that be something I do in Retool? Or would that be something I need to have the API support on the CRM system? I don’t see any way in the documentation to do an API call that retrieves anything other than either a list of records from one table, or a list of details on one specific record.

Hi @alanlee!

It is possible to two different datasets in Retool – however it’s always advisable to do this in the backend when possible. If that’s not an option, you can use a Query JSON with SQL query type to join two data objects. Here are the docs with an example!
