Is there a way to use the API with Grist-Desktop?
I am evaluating Grist as a lightweight tool to capture Systems Engineering data.
During the evaluation phase, I am using grist-desktop
as it is fully offline; however I would like to test accessing the data externally to generate reports. The API appears to be the most powerful tool for doing this, as reading the raw .grist
file with an SQLite viewer doesn’t let you understand the links between tables. Using the API would also let me port my code over when my company either self-hosts or gets a paid Grist account.
Is there a way to use the API with Grist-Desktop, or to otherwise see the links between tables in .grist files?
The API Console isn’t working on my Windows copy of Grist Desktop and the Base doc URL serves up “access denied” to me
Note that someone asked this question last year, but there was no comment on whether or not you could use the API. Using API with Grist Desktop
