Fetch data for list view from external API

Hello,

I’ve created a custom module linked to my account module but all the data in this new module is managed in another tool. I would simply like to allow this data to be viewed in list view from the subpanel in the account module. I want to retrieve the various rows via a REST API that returns paginated results. I don’t want to store its data in my SuiteCRM database and create redundancy between my different tools.

I have read this ticket Need to Fetch data from external API without storing at database show multiple view but the link to the example is broken…

I’m using SuiteCRM version 8.4. What are your ideas? Can I use an “after_retrieve” type logichook?

Thank you in advance to the SuiteCRM experts for your help.

I just edited the post you linked to, to fix the broken link.
