1. A method for data object generation, comprising:
receiving, via a user interface configured for a client of a data service, an application programming interface (API) request that indicates a first template, a second template, a data set, and one or more user identifiers, wherein the data set comprises information from a database that is inaccessible to the data service;
retrieving the first template and the second template from a template library in response to the API request, wherein:
the first template comprises one or more variables;
the second template comprises a mapping between the one or more variables in the first template and one or more fields in the data set; and
the template library comprises a plurality of templates stored in association with different clients of the data service;
generating a data object based at least in part on importing the one or more fields from the data set to the second template and linking the second template to the first template in accordance with the mapping between the one or more variables and the one or more fields; and
transmitting, via the user interface configured for the client of the data service, an API response comprising an identifier of the data object, wherein the data object is accessible to the one or more user identifiers indicated by the API request.
