SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Locate and recommend the most suitable data-source connectors (DLT sources) for a given API or data provider, reducing guesswork and setup time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided source discovery: classifies user needs and maps them to verified connectors or suggests a custom integration path.
  • Source vetting and validation: searches verified sources, dlthub contexts, and performs web validation to ensure accuracy.
  • Clear options and next steps: presents tradeoffs and recommended actions to empower fast decisions.

Quick Start

Ask the user which API or data provider they want to integrate and begin the guided source-discovery workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the right data source connector for a REST API?

To find a data source connector for a REST API, you can use a guided source-discovery workflow that classifies your needs and maps them to verified connectors or suggests a custom integration path. This process searches verified sources and dlthub contexts to ensure accuracy and reduce setup time.

What is the best way to validate if a dlt data pipeline connector exists for my provider?

The best way to validate if a dlt data pipeline connector exists is to perform source vetting against verified sources and dlthub contexts, supplemented by web validation. This ensures the recommended connector is accurate and viable before you commit to setup.

Can I use a verified dlt source instead of building a custom REST API integration?

Yes, you can use a verified dlt source instead of building a custom REST API integration if one exists for your provider. The discovery process compares your API against verified connectors and dlthub contexts to surface viable options and clear tradeoffs.

When do I need a custom REST API integration for my data pipeline?

You need a custom REST API integration for your data pipeline when no verified connector or dlthub context exists for your specific provider. The discovery workflow identifies this gap and proposes a custom integration path as the next step.

How do I compare data-source connectors and choose the right option?

To compare data-source connectors, the discovery workflow presents clear options, tradeoffs, and recommended actions based on your API. It evaluates whether a verified connector exists or if a custom REST integration is required, empowering you to choose fast.
