# API requests

For any data sources you can't connect directly to with SQL, we recommend using API requests via Python or JavaScript. Alternatively, you can import Excel files, drag and drop CSVs, or [let us know if you need help](https://quadratichq.com/contact) with the specific data source you're trying to connect.
