Register FundedAPI as a Retool REST resource. Build sales prospecting consoles, CS account-intelligence panels, exec funding-trend dashboards — all backed by fresh-daily data with zero backend code.
Resources → Create → REST API. Base URL: `https://fundedapi.com`. Auth: Bearer token. Retool caches responses per-query, rate-limit-aware.
Use Retool's {{ variable }} templating: `{{ nicheSelect.value }}` maps directly to `?niche=`. Filter dropdowns become live API queries with no code.
Point a Retool Table at the `startups` array in our response. Pagination, sorting, column-level formatting, row actions all work out of the box. 10 minutes to a working prospect console.
Row action → POST to HubSpot API → refresh. All in Retool, all using our data as input. SDRs see 'HOT' rounds and push to their pipeline with one click.
Build a VC-ranking dashboard in minutes: our investors endpoint → Retool Table with deal count, hiring count, top niches, most-common round. Sort by any column, click to drill into `/investors/<slug>`.
Can't call external APIs from internal tools (finance, healthcare, govt)? Our Enterprise plan ships a containerized deployment into your VPC. Retool hits your internal URL — identical API contract.

Native integration (auto-complete, typed responses in Retool's query editor) is on the roadmap once user count justifies it.
Retool reads `X-RateLimit-*` response headers. Wrap your query in a JS transformer: if `response.headers['x-ratelimit-remaining']` < 10, disable the query for 60s. Or upgrade to our Pro tier (10K/day) if you have many concurrent Retool users hitting the same queries.
Retool caches per-user-per-query by default. For team-wide dashboards, set a Retool Workflow to hit our API once per 5 min and store results in Retool Tables. All dashboard users read from the cached table — 300× fewer API calls.
Yes — Retool's no-code UI builder works great on top of our typed JSON. Sales ops build consoles without engineering. Common pattern: niche filter + date range + hiring toggle + Table + row action. ~10 components, zero code.
Add a second Retool resource for your CRM. Row action runs a chained query: GET FundedAPI detail → POST CRM. Since Retool handles both sides, no backend needed.
Our API key is tenant-per-key. Give each Retool workspace its own FundedAPI key. Usage is isolated + billable separately per-workspace. Or use a single key with Retool permissions to gate dashboards per user.
