Has anyone managed to have a REST API as datasource?

How would someone get RESP api data in an FM model?

There is no standard solution out there from what i have seen.

Has anyone tried and succeeded?

First you would have to establish a data source connection. Once you had a data source connection that tested successfully, FM might be able to read it.

I am not sure this is possible. There is an XML and an "other" type when you set up the connection. You still need a connection string, though. I suppose if your RESP URL was static it might work as a connection string. I have never tried this. If you do and it works, it would be cool to hear back how you did it.
