Hello,  
Do you know if it is possible to query directly the nocodb database from MS Excel to import data without restriction ?  
Thank you in advance.

hey @anthony.charrieau, looks like [querying an API is possible in MS Excel](https://www.codementor.io/@benniejayguevarra/importing-public-web-api-to-excel-no-coding-required-14bzfy4nev).

So you could create an [API token](https://docs.nocodb.com/account-settings/api-tokens/) and [use our APIs](https://data-apis-v2.nocodb.com/) to get the result you need.
