- Text APIs
- Number

- Core APIs allow you to pick a specific response and process it based on the output you are looking for
- After selecting the API, you may see a set of further inputs needed by the selected API, start typing or click on the input field to see options available from previous API calls
- The search results pulls data from previous calls and categorizes it by the API call and provider, making it easy to select.
