Ask HN: What are some data I can't get from API payloads?
Data are stored in databases, but those data came from the product, most of the time from APIs. Why can't we use API payload data for analytics? Who says you can’t? https://www.oracle.com/uk/business-analytics/analytics-platf... Hmmm this just seems like any other data tool that connects to different data sources via connectors/integrations. What I want to know is if I have an app that has react + API layer + database layer. Why can't I use the API payload for analytics instead of the database, because the API data is usually denormalized and has a lot more context. That's subjective surely? Also where do you think the data is stored when you get it from an API call?
