Bind data and automate refreshes

Through the REST API you pipe data into DataLion and back out — and automate recurring refreshes. Ideal for loading new waves or passing results on to downstream systems, with no manual steps.

  • Import and export data programmatically
  • Automate recurring refreshes
  • Load new waves with no manual steps
DataLion data sources refreshed automatically through the REST API

Sanctum tokens, scoped per access profile

API v1 is secured via Laravel Sanctum tokens. Each token is scoped per access profile — so it only accesses within the scope you defined in roles and permissions.

That keeps every integration within its permitted scope, consistent with the rights in the interface.

  • API v1 via Laravel Sanctum tokens
  • Scoped tokens per access profile
  • Access consistent with roles and permissions

The API behind the Claude integration

The same REST API also underpins the MCP/Claude integration: when an AI agent reads projects, imports data or builds reports in DataLion, it runs over exactly this interface.

So you use one foundation for both — your own automations and AI-driven workflows.
