I’m running a simple API call to get all the rows from a table in my app. The response returns all the records and the standard column types but doesn’t include any of the Computed Columns (which is actually what I’m after. Any idea whether the values from the computed table are available via the API?

Computed values are not stored values. They are computed in real time on the end user’s device. They are not computed on the Glide servers or stored in any way. For that reason, I don’t think the API can access those computed values because they technically don’t exist.
