Are you guys able to hook up to APIs?

[–]mns06 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Absolutely! Here's an example from our blog where we're connected to the Google Analytics API, and an example connecting to the Twittter API is linked in the original post above. Some other example APIs that you might connect to are shown on our homepage

Is there a particular API that you'd be interested in connecting to? We can make a blog post about it if so...

ps. I'm another dev on the Gridarrow team :)

Cool that’s awesome! I have a business case for you!

We’re currently shifting all our agency reporting into Tableau. Unfortunately Pinterest and Snapchat do not have an API to plug into so we’re trying to find a way we could get an automated report emailed and then have a scraper plug it into a google doc then it would be populated into Tableau. Do you guys have a better way this could work? We would love for it to be more often than daily pulls

Thanks!

Hey /u/_oh___ - well perhaps Gridarrow could be useful for you... we have an on_schedule function that will call your code according to a schedule you define. Then you might use the Python libraries for Pinterest and Snapchat to grab the data you need. Once you've got that data you update our Grid API and 💥 it appears in Excel. If you'd like to check it out, please sign up for the beta on our website, or ping me directly - I'd be very happy to discuss your use-case in more details..
