Hi, Can Experimental Code Column be used to query a rest api?

Yes, it could be.

Just be aware that it isn’t secure, so if your rest API is authenticated then you may risk exposing your credentials.

If the API doesn’t require authentication, then you may be able to use the [Fetch JSON](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/fetch) column.
