Incubator-superset: REST API client

[hugo-pires]

Hello

Is it possible to use a REST API as a source for the widget?

Thank you

What kind of REST service are you envisioning? The "Queryable" interface we use for Druid and SqlAlchemy sources is fairly complex and the service would have to implement it.

I had a Flask implemented API where each URL gives me a different value of a meteorological indicator calculated from a MongoDB collection of data .
Something like:
/temp/dailyaverage/<startdate>/<enddate>/

It returns a JSON formated response

Do you know what a GUI is?

I guess so. Could it help to answer my question?

So the answer is: it's possible and you'd have to implement the Queryable interface in models.py, it's not trivial though.
