Hi everybody. I’m new to Glide. I have a data table in glide app, but I want to use the API to get all the data in that table, and sync via Lark Base, is it possible? And how can you guide me step by step? Thanks for everything.

Yes, it’s possible. Start by reviewing the API documents.

Can you point me more directly to where this is explained? Nothing in the provided documentation seems to match what I expect when I try it. When the user mentions “getting all of the data in the table,” I expect it to include everything visible in the UI, including relation columns. Is this possible, and is it explained somewhere in the API documentation?

I think the important thing to note is that most computed columns are only computed on the end users device. They are not computed on the back end and they do not store any values. So when the API retrieves data, it can only retrieve basic column data because there is no process that runs those computations on computed columns during the API data retrieval.
