Hi @BYHS Welcome to the community.

If you have an API for sure you can connect it via external collection.

Thanks

Hi,  
Long time SQL user here although in the last years I have moved to CLOUD databases. Let me know if you find a solution, if not I can investigate what is possible to do.

Maybe this gives you some ideas: [MySQL Offers a REST API](https://www.infoq.com/news/2014/09/MySQL-REST/)
