Hi Manish and welcome to the forum.

What have you tried? Have you tried looking in the Flows section for suitable nodes?

[Library - Node-RED (nodered.org)](https://flows.nodered.org/search?term=parquet)

Did you install the dependency?

Also do you realize each API will be different and you will need a seperate way to access each one.

What does not work in your flow ?

Note that there is an example include with the node (you can load it via the hamburger menu \> import \> examples)
