To add a new API data source, you follow a standardized workflow that includes evaluating provider stability, creating a typed adapter, scaffolding tests, and formally registering the source. This ensures reliable integration and maintainability across the platform.

Before integrating an RSS feed or API adapter, you must verify that the source has a free tier, offers sufficient stability, and provides adequate documentation. This evaluation checklist prevents unreliable data sources from entering the system.

Creating a typed adapter involves defining the file structure and typing for the data source, then using the provided testing scaffolds to validate it. The process includes health checks to ensure the adapter functions reliably before registration.

Yes, the workflow supports integrating API-based providers, RSS feeds, and on-chain adapters for crypto news platforms. It standardizes the registration steps and adapter creation across all supported source types.

The best way to standardize data source integration is to implement a formal registration process with typed adapters and health checks. This repeatable process covers evaluation, implementation, testing, and registration for every new provider.
