We have implemented new connectors which enable you to gain insights from common business and marketing tools, including Google AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Docs, GitHub, Jira, LinkedIn, Marketo, Salesforce, Twitter, and Zendesk.
Web Services
OAuth and Secure Connections
OAuth is a protocol which allows you to create an access token for individual services without giving your user name and password to third parties. When using one of the above connectors, Datameer prompts you to create a token with the correct web service which then obtains data from that service. OAuth custom client settings can be added in the default.properties
folder located in the conf/default.properties
folder.
Create a Connector for Your Own Web Service
You can create your own connector for web services that you host (such as on an Apache Tomcat server) using the custom protocol (including http/https) connector type.
During creation of the import job, define the data type (for example, JSON, HTML, or CSV). Encrypted connections using SSL might need to import the CA or certificate into the JVM.
