**Connect to any platform with Call API, now in beta.** Glide’s native Call API capability lets you connect to external APIs _without_ routing through 3rd party tools like Make or Zapier. This direct connection means you can securely send and retrieve data for things like: - Pushing data from your Glide apps to other tools - Fetching information from external systems, e.g. device specs - Passing data between separate Glide apps [Refer to the Glide Docs for more details on getting started with Call API.](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/integrations/call-api) ![Call API in the Integrations menu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/9/b9a6d0700b7964c3643361e631a329aeeaee43a6.png) **Call API goes hand-in-hand with Glide’s native JSON capabilities.** JSON is a common standard for working with APIs. You can construct and deconstruct JSON objects in Glide using columns in the Data Editor or actions in the Actions Editor. [Refer to the Glide Docs for details on working with JSON in Glide.](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/integrations/json) **The Call API beta is available for teams on Business plans and above.** Want to give Call API a shot, but aren’t sure about upgrading?

Is it still being rolled out? I have a Business plan trial but don’t see this option at all. ---

Hey thanks but its still not there for me, and I’m on the Business trial. Does it have to be paid and not a trial? John ---

Hi John, I also have a team on a business plan trial and the _Call API_ column is there in my project. Ideas to troubleshoot your issue: (0) Double-check you are in the right team that indeed has a business plan trial. (1) When adding a column, use the search bar and search for “Call API”. (2) Or when adding a column, go to the “Integration” menu item, then “Call API” _should_ be there. See screenshot for options (1) and (2). ![CleanShot 2023-09-27 at 22.20.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/d/ad3a1b9e31d94f332802232a1c6ac9189a3d93e3.jpeg) ---

Unfortunately, this was still behind the preview feature when we launched it today. We’ve since moved it out of preview, and it should be accessible to everyone.
