Creating a page which displays data from API or database
Hi,
I want to check whether it's possible to create a page in SharePoint that can display data from a dataset? (e.g. data from API calls or a SQL database). These can be done with regular websites, but I'm not sure if this can be done from within SharePoint.
Sincerely,
Jason

Further to the answer by ArefHalmstrand, you could build an app in Microsoft Power Apps with SQL or Dataverse as the datasource and then use the Power Apps web part to embed the app in your SharePoint page.

Hello Jason,
Pages in SharePoint use something called web parts. These webparts can show data from a SharePoint List or document library for example. It is possible to retrieve information that exists in SharePoint. However, if you would like to make an API call to fetch data from another source, then you would need some development skills to build your own webpart.
Best regards,
