Here Boy! Meet DynaFetch for Dynamo 3.0

The BIMsider
Who’s a good boy? DynaFetch always brings back the data you need. 🐕

For about a month leading up to #AU2025, I’ve been “Vide Coding” with my coding “bestie” Claude (from Anthropic) on our very first custom Dynamo package. DynaFetch brings modern, reliable REST API integration to Dynamo 3.0, letting you connect to external data sources with community-driven, open-source functionality.

This project started because I’ve long relied on the excellent custom package DynaWeb by Radu Gidei. Unfortunately, it isn’t compatible with Dynamo 3.0+, and staying on older versions is becoming less and less practical.

#AECTechCon, Low-Code & AI, Oh My!

Last week, I finally attended my first #AECTechCon on May 7 and 8 at the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, MO, just outside St. Louis. This event had been on my radar for a while, and it did not disappoint. It offered a solid mix of learning and knowledge sharing around AEC tech, plus a strong expo hall. The usual suspects were there, along with some standout locals and a few new-to-me gems (you really need to check out iPlanTables).

The keynotes were strong, the cornhole tournament was chaotic in the best way, and the schedule left room to network or catch your breath after a long day of sessions, booth duty, or both.

Keep reading for a look at my session from the conference and why I think this one belongs on your 2026 must-attend list.
