Integrating External Data Sources with Baserow – Best Practices and Recommendations

[evansdavis090]

Hello Everyone,

I’m currently working on a project that requires integrating external data sources into my Baserow workspace. While I’ve found Baserow to be a powerful tool for organizing and managing data, I’m facing a few challenges when it comes to pulling in data from third-party APIs and services.

Specifically, I’m looking for advice on the following points:

1. API Integrations: What are the best practices for integrating external APIs into Baserow? I have experience with API calls but am unsure how to automate the process effectively within Baserow. Are there any tools or scripts recommended for automating data fetching and syncing from external sources?
2. Data Import Automation: I would like to automate the process of importing data into Baserow at regular intervals. Does Baserow offer built-in options for automating imports, or should I rely on external tools like Zapier or Integromat? I’ve heard of Baserow’s API, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has used it for similar tasks.
3. Handling Large Datasets: When dealing with large datasets, how does Baserow handle performance? Are there any optimization tips or limits I should be aware of when importing or syncing substantial amounts of data?
4. Error Handling: What’s the best way to handle potential errors that may arise during data imports (e.g., API limits, missing data, or connection issues)?
