The next thing I need to find out is how to use it as a datasource (restful API I think it's called) for react-admin. Is there a similar page to the "connection details" that gives me the path information I need to enter into my react-admin code related to data provider (currently using ra-data-simple-rest) configuration?

Admin dataProvider={simpleRestProvider('http://path.to.my.api/')

edit: I just saw your response.

should I remove my next question and e-mail instead?

I've never used React Admin, so I don't know exactly how it would work, but I imagine you can go to the "Docs" section in your dashboard and use the "Bash" commands to "cURL" the data 😂. What a mouthful

Alternatively, we have a table view, which is getting better every week. (go to the "Zap" icon, then toggle at the top between Table/SQL). We have some huge improvements coming this week, and eventually you won't even need React Admin - we are building it for you :). If you've ever used Airtable, this is how our Table View will function

Thanks Copple.

If I can "cURL" I can probably use axios or fetch for CRUD. I will check out the docs and link this thread to our dev.
We do intend to use React-Admin and it will become a dashboard for the business.
