Custom REST API integration
Point Flitch at any REST endpoint and turn its JSON responses into live dashboards.
Flitch is an AI BI tool that connects to Custom REST API and turns your data into shareable dashboards. Give Flitch a REST or JSON API URL with optional headers and auth, and it maps the response into a dataset. Pick the records you want, describe the dashboard in plain language, and schedule a background refresh.

Custom REST API integration FAQ
How does Flitch connect to a REST API?
Point Flitch at any REST endpoint and add optional headers or auth such as an API key or bearer token. It reads the response and maps it into a dataset you can build dashboards on.
Can I use an API key or bearer token?
Yes. Flitch supports API key and bearer token auth as well as custom headers, so you can reach endpoints that require authentication. Access is read-only, so your API is never written to.
Do I need to write code to chart my API data?
No. Once Flitch maps the response into a dataset, you describe the dashboard you want in plain language and it builds the charts for you. No SQL or query code required.
Does Flitch keep my API data up to date?
Yes. You can schedule a background refresh so Flitch re-fetches the endpoint on a regular basis and your dashboards stay current without manual re-imports.
Which parts of the API response can I import?
You choose the data to bring in and Flitch maps the response into a dataset. From there you can break the records down by category or track them over time.
Does Flitch copy my Custom REST API data?
Only the objects you choose. Custom REST API is an API rather than a database Flitch can query in place, so those objects are pulled on your refresh schedule and stored as datasets. Nothing else is taken, and aggregation still happens in SQL against your data model, so a figure means the same thing on every dashboard built from it. Connect a database instead and Flitch queries it directly with no copy at all.
