With the new 'Rest API call' action, it is possible to connect and download data from a public or authorized API into a CSV/JSON file through a list of mapped parameters.

Even though, you have the possibility to see how the query has been structured in the 12.6 release, you cannot edit it.

It could be useful to interact directly and manually with the query sent by Board, similar to the SQL DataReader where you can switch to a manual query instead of the automatic proposal.

    Great idea! It would be very useful for fully exploiting the potential of external APIs.

    Thank you for sharing your idea, @Andrea Pasqualini. We understand the need of this solution. This idea is part of our development roadmap.

    We are planning several improvements on the rest API, in particular we are planning the "custom body formatting" you described, which gives the possibility to manually manage the API script.

    We encourage you to continue submitting your ideas and suggestions in the future, as we are always open to hearing new perspectives and feedback.
