Connectors: Querying API's?

acdewinter · July 29, 2014 2:28AM

Hi Visokio,

I have a random question, is there perhaps a way for Omniscope to connect to public/private API's and pull data that way, or is the complexity of how API's operate in general out of scope?

Regards
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the question. Omniscope already connects to many public and private API's. Examples of public API's include Facebook, Doubleclick and Twitter. We also connect to a number of private API's, however these connectors are only visible to users with the appropriate licence permissions. Did you have any API's in mind?

Hi Chris,

I was just playing around with an App that I added to google enterprise. The app is managed externally, and according to their site the API can be queried using Json, and was wondering if there is some way to setup a custom api feed or something like that to connect, or would it be better to just query it separately and write to a sql database?

The specific app in mind is www.mavenlink.com

regards,
adrian

Hi Adrian,

The process for requesting a new connector is outlined in the following forum post:
