🤖API Functions

Primitive functions that allow you to access API data within Flipside with Snowflake SQL

API functions serve as a low-level primitive that enables you to query any API (or Node RPC) and bring those results into Flipside. This is particularly useful for 3rd Party Data APIs or blockchain nodes/networks not yet supported by higher-level functions such as our EVM Functions.
