Configure a connector in 4 steps using an API key or personal access token. This guide covers each step of the configuration wizard.
Before you start
- Access to an Ontologie workspace
- API key or personal access token for the external service
- (Optional) Target entity created in the ontology for linking
Steps
Step 1 : Choose the connector and enter credentials
From Live Data > Connectors, click the desired connector.
The configuration panel opens. Select API Key as the authentication method.
Enter your API key or token in the provided field.
Step 2 : Test the connection
Click Test connection to verify that Ontologie can connect to the source.
If an error occurs, a message is displayed with details to help fix the issue.
Common errors
| Error | Likely cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid or expired API key | Regenerate the key in the provider's console. |
| 403 Forbidden | Insufficient scopes or permissions | Check the permissions of your key. |
| Timeout | Service temporarily unavailable | Try again in a few minutes. |
Step 3 : Select data streams
After a successful test, Ontologie discovers the available streams from your source. Check the streams you want to synchronize.
Step 4 : Link to an entity
Select the target entity in your ontology to receive the synchronized data.
