Call API action (Beta)
You can create actions that call API endpoints in Sigma workbooks. This allows you to trigger workflows, enrich data, and interact with external systems without leaving Sigma. See Create actions that call API endpoints.
To support the Call API action, you can define API credentials and API connectors directly in Sigma, using diverse authentication methods, dynamic query and path parameters, request bodies with typed variables, and more. You can optionally create a connector from an existing OpenAPI specification. See Configure API credentials and connectors in Sigma.
For step-by-step examples configuring credentials, connectors, and actions to call APIs, see the following tutorials:
- Tutorial: Configure API credentials, connectors, and actions for the Sigma REST API
- Tutorial: Configure API credentials, connectors, and actions for the NYC Open Data API
