Hello,

I have created a free helper Add-on to explore a file using execute-data-api and to create queries which you can use for the real Data API. The Add-on is free and featured in [the Claris marketplace](https://marketplace.claris.com/detail/2216.html)

You can also download the Add-on [from my freeware website](https://www.filemakertips.nl/data-api-explorer-add-on/#english) where there is also an example-file where the DAE already is integrated, with a few example-queries.

Cheers 🙂 Menno

Nice work @menno.

Visibility of the actions and content of data accessible via the API is really important for development.
