Hi guys, Brian here.

I’m planning on making a Pickaxe in my studio that I can call using an API of some sort to perform some actions and get a JSON response.

This is different I believe from a webhook where you call an external API and get something back to display in Pickaxe’s UI.

Thanks again for the help!

Hey @briancatmaster that’s technically possible with the Pickaxe API. You can turn on API access via the studio settings. After, you can use a tool like n8n to programmatically call on your Pickaxe agents.
