Data Connector Agent
Overview
The Data Connector Agent is an AI-powered integration builder designed to simplify API-based connections and workflows. Instead of writing custom code, you can provide an API documentation URL and specify the desired endpoint, and the Agent automatically generates the integration.
This makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to set up secure data connectors in minutes, significantly reducing the time, cost, and expertise required for integration work.
Key capabilities
The core features that make the Data Connector Agent powerful and user-friendly:
-
AI and LLM-driven setup: Automatically parses API documentation to generate connection logic.
-
No-code integration: You only need to provide the endpoint URL.
-
Authentication handled automatically: Detects and applies the correct authentication method, for example, API keys and OAuth.
-
Built-in pagination support: Configures pagination logic automatically when retrieving large data sets from an API.
-
Automatic incremental field detection: AI engine can automatically identify the appropriate incremental field when connecting to API sources.
-
One-click connection: The Agent reads docs, configures authentication, and sets up pagination automatically.
