Hello, I am a new users of dream-factory and admittedly I am finding it very overwhelming, I was wondering if this would be a viable platform to be able to run script on an API being sent. For example if I where to send an API out to dreamfactory with a customers details I would then be able to use the submitted details to make calculations or call other APIs. Thanks, and sorry if this is not clear. ---

Hey, This is possible. Just look at these videos. They give you a short intro into Server-Side scripting. ---
