You should create a plugin (look at example repos linked in Customization > Plugin) so that core upgrades work as normal. Do not modify the source code ‘directly’ as that will make maintenance a total pain. Use the guides in #documentation:devs to get going. Rails Serializers will need expanding if you want to bring down more data. However consider Custom Fields if your needs are light.
