@datadash_team, have you considered building a GraphQL API as well in your platform along with RESTful APIs? It could enable more flexible data queries and powerful features for your users.

@datawhizz, we appreciate your suggestion! Our team is in fact discussing GraphQL, and we'll evaluate it further for our roadmap.
