Directly as data connection no.
Dynamic Query supports a user-defined table-function concept which would require you to implement it in Java. See Cognos SDK docs/call support for more details.
Indirectly you could consider in-database "external" table-functions which can invoke external routines
If your API is really more like a "data source", then consider solutions such as Presto, PostgreSQL etc re foreign data wrappers.

Subject: Ability to read source data through API
Hello Team,
Whether Cognos has the ability to read source data through an external API? Basically the source data comes through an API call, and Cognos should able to read the data and do reporting on top of it. Please let me know if this is feasible and can share any document /links which helps in this regard. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
