Appian has an object called Web API specifically designed for this case. You can create a rule to query the data in Appian and expose the result of query using web API as a HTTP response. Which will be response to your KPI application's HTTP request.

If you are creating a record object to fetch the data into Appian, the you can use that record to create a webApi easily. You would need a service account to authorize and authenticate that WebAPI

This very much smells like AI generated and the question is about exposing data from Appian for an external system.

CDT means Custom Data Types, not Common Data Types.

When I post AI generated content, I point it out explicitly.

Hello ricardos0433 ,

Yes, we can query the data. There are multiple methods available for retrieving the data, including web APIs, imports, CDT and records. Each method is suitable for different query requirements.

Web APIs: If you're dealing with real-time data or integrating with third-party systems, we would use web APIs to fetch the data dynamically.
Import: If you have large datasets that need to be imported into your system, we can use imports (such as CSV or other file formats) to bring the data in efficiently.
CDT: This approach is useful when working with standardized data structures that can be easily integrated and manipulated consistently.
Records: When working within a specific platform, such as a CRM or database, records are the best way to interact with and we can easily organize the data.

Yes you can expose Appian data through WebApi's . Use query templates (Either data type or Record) to get the data
