The Connector builder is a low-code tool that allows you to define your own data connectors for use within Supermetrics. By writing a JSON configuration, you can describe how data should be retrieved from external platforms, such as private APIs, product feeds, or other data sources that Supermetrics does not natively support.
Connectors built with the Connector builder integrate directly into the Supermetrics ecosystem. This means they can be used like any other native data source: included in queries, blended with other datasets, and processed through Supermetrics workflows.
Note
Please note that the Connector builder is intended for users who are comfortable working with JSON and have access to the external API or data source they wish to integrate with Supermetrics.
How to get started?
Building a connector requires you to understand the components and logic of how connectors behave within Supermetrics.
We’ve created content that helps you along the way, from introducing the basic concepts to a quick start guide. With the help of the articles in this category, you’ll understand how you can create a data source connector to a public API and how the basic process works.
We’ve also documented how to configure different components of a connector, so you can configure your connector to work with the API you want to fetch data from.
Why to use Supermetrics Connector builder instead of developing your own integration?
Using the Connector builder comes with several key advantages over maintaining your own custom scripts:
Centralises data access within Supermetrics for a single source of truth for your data workflows
Makes data available to use in Supermetrics data blending and transformations for consistent results across sources, and instantly available in all supported destinations
Removes the need to maintain separate infrastructure, and allows you to take advantage of existing retry and monitoring capabilities
Ensures secure and compliant handling of sensitive data in an environment that has been audited by external auditors and is SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA compliant.
