The API column expects a result in a very specific format, and your API doesn’t provide that format (not its fault, it wasn’t built to work with Glide’s API column). You’ll have to either change the result format of that API, if it’s under your control, or implement a go-between server.

The API column is also meant to just read data, not write it. You can’t (or rather, shouldn’t) use it to actuate a pump.
