Recent Improvements

Improved Dashboard

The signed-in experience on datafetcher.com has been redesigned. Requests, Run History, and a new Settings page are now accessible directly from the top navigation bar, so you no longer need to navigate through multiple screens to manage your workspaces.

The workspace home page now includes a daily usage chart showing your daily request and record usage for the current billing cycle.

Help Sidebar

Click the Help button in Data Fetcher to open a sidebar with helpful links and an easy way to contact support.

Sequence Run History

Sequences have a Run History view in Data Fetcher, just like requests.

Structured AI Output

ChatGPT & Claude integrations support an optional Structured output step. The AI-generated response will adhere to this schema.

Improved Formula Library

Using an improved (forked) formula library that better handles empty strings and includes encode/decode utilities for working with special characters in your formulas.

JMESPath Filtering for CSV Responses

You can now use JMESPath expressions to filter and transform CSV data, bringing the same powerful filtering capabilities previously available only for JSON responses.

Examples:

• [?[1] == 'Bob'] - Filter rows where the second column equals 'Bob'
• [?to_number([2]) > 150] - Filter rows where the third column is greater than 150
• [:2] - Take only the first 2 rows

Handle Massive Google Sheets

Data Fetcher can now handle very large Google Sheets with 80,000+ rows. We've optimized how large datasets are processed to prevent crashes when working with big spreadsheets & remote CSVs.

Consolidated Error Emails

Error notifications are now combined into a single digest email instead of individual emails for each error, reducing inbox clutter while still keeping you informed.

Multiple Fixed Values

You can now add multiple fixed values to the API response in the response field mappings. This is useful when you want to write a combination of static values and dynamic values (using table references).

Keyboard Shortcuts

Speed up your workflow with new keyboard shortcuts for common actions.

• Run requests with (CMD+Enter)
• Save requests with (CMD+S)

Auto-populate Authorization for Custom Requests

When setting up custom API requests, Data Fetcher now automatically populates authorization settings based on your previously used settings the API you're connecting to, saving you time on configuration.

Improved Field Type Change Handling

When a field type changes in your Airtable base, Data Fetcher now handles it more gracefully:

• Better warnings when field types need to be synchronized
• Clearer validation messages guiding you to fix field mapping issues
• Settings icon highlights in red when there's a type mismatch to fix

Error on Empty Response

New option to treat empty API responses as errors. This is useful when you expect data and want to be notified if an API returns nothing.

• Enable "Error on empty response" in request settings
• Helps catch issues where APIs return empty results unexpectedly

More Flexible Error Handling

Configure how consecutive errors are handled for both manual and automated runs.

• Choose between "Stop on first error" for critical data, or "Continue through errors" to tolerate sporadic failures.
• Set custom thresholds for when to notify you and when to pause automated runs entirely.

More Flexible Scheduling

Set specific minutes past the hour for hourly schedules.

Stop In-Progress Runs

You can now stop runs that are currently in progress from the run history panel.

• New stop button appears on running requests in run history
• Cleanly abort long-running or stuck requests
• "Stopped" status clearly shown in run history
