Simple question, is it possible with Matillion ETL to read data from a DB and load the data to an API endpoint (Post/Put) or do I need to involve a Python or other programmatic app to actually write the data to the destination API?

Hi.

&nbsp;

Matillion can read from a DB and write to a CDW, we can then read from the CDW and Post/put to the 3rd party API.

&nbsp;

Kind regards, Joe
