Connectors APIs
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.
Connectors pull data into Managed 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. Use the find your connector tool to view 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 Managed Fusion. Also, some connectors support security trimming, which restricts query results based on user ID. In Managed Fusion 5.9.0 and later, connectors use graph security trimming. In Managed Fusion 5.8.1 and earlier, they use the security trimming stage.
Connector compatibility
Connectors are developed and released separately from Managed Fusion, although their functionality and compatibility is closely tied to Managed Fusion versions. Refer to the connector release notes for more information.
