#22Sisense is pretty cool and you could connect up a bunch of different datasources

#23Take a look at https://anvil.works - it's not just "low code", it's a full web-dev platform so simple that you can build a dashboard with a few lines of Python - front end, back end and drag-n-drop design. (I'm a founder.) The trouble with "low-code" is that you're stuck on rails - it's very easy to do a few things, but the moment you want something the creators didn't anticipate, prepare for a lot of pain. Anvil is…
I love the value proposition of full stack w/ nothing but Python here. Backend has been cool enough with Python but for anything serious in the frontend, js and friends is almost always a necessity. Bridging that gap seems pretty lucrative, especially with your python → js compiler.¹

Definitely on my watch list though!

#26Grafana is pretty great. There are a lot of built in connectors, but its ability to query arbitrary REST, JSON, oData etc endpoints along with databases makes it super flexible for what you mentioned.
https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/simpod-json-datasource
It has a great GUI for building queries, plus solid RBAC, great charting, and a very flexible alert system. Configure in their GUI, then get your dashboard's code in as JSON for deployment. You can also define dashboard in actual code, ie grafanalib in Python and others- which is great for DevOps. https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib
They have nice stylesheets ready for TV displays, but it gets really fun when users get their hands on it and can zoom in and drill down on time-series data, filter with dynamic parameters and such.

#27I'm currently working on my own little dashboard SaaS - https://statsout.com/
It doesn't have the functionality to perform custom REST calls yet but it's definitely on the list. For now you can get the basic metrics from Google Analytics, Search Console, Facebook Pages, Instagram, and Stripe. It's still very much in beta but you're welcome to try it.

#28Retool is great software and has a great team. ( https://retool.com/ )
Retool is amazing for building internal control panels and support tools.

#29I really like Trevor.io
It has nice gui for data exploration, clean charts and integrates really well with gsheets.
If you save the API calls in a database could use this?

#30You can give https://chartbrew.com/ a try if you wish. You can make the API requests in a Postman-like interface directly on the platform. So you can have live-data coming in as the tool makes the requests automatically for you.
You can also have multiple requests made to different services gathering data on the same chart.
