The Connector APIs are a group of APIs that you can use to configure connectors. You can use them to configure datasources and the crawl database, install connectors and update existing ones, and create logs of installed connector configurations. For more information, view the API specification. Connectors pull data into Fusion. They work together with parsers and index pipelines to comprise datasources. You can use connectors to pull data from a variety of data repositories, applications, and websites. See Connector Configuration Reference for a list of all connectors supported in your version of Fusion. Connectors are system objects, which means installing, updating, and deleting connectors affects all apps in your Fusion deployment.
Some endpoints only work with V2 connectors. To learn more about the different connector frameworks, refer to V1 and V2 connectors.

Connector security

For high-security applications, you can configure connectors to run remotely behind firewalls, instead of hosting them in Fusion. Also, some connectors support security trimming, which restricts query results based on user ID. In Fusion 5.9.0 and later, connectors use graph security trimming. In Fusion 5.8.1 and earlier, they use the security trimming stage.

​
Connector compatibility

Connectors are developed and released separately from Fusion, although their functionality and compatibility is closely tied to Fusion versions. Refer to the connector release notes for more information.
