Characteristics of Connectors
- A connector is a self-contained and independent tool used for connecting to public web APIs.
- Connectors simplify configuration to access external APIs and enable 'Cloud to Enterprise' and 'Cloud to Cloud' integration.
- Connectors are dynamically plugged into the Micro Integrator and have dynamic tooling support with WSO2 Integration Studio.
Types of Connectors
- SaaS Connectors: enable integration with APIs of external cloud systems (SaaS Applications) such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Gmail, Amazon S3, etc.
- Technology Connectors: enable sending and receiving information over standard protocols using connectors like File Connector, ISO8583 Connector, etc.
- Database Connectors: enable integration with databases and perform actions using connector operations.
Connector Store
- The connector store hosts connectors and includes older connector versions and links to documentation.
- Connectors can be imported from the connector store via WSO2 Integration Studio.
Using Connectors in WSO2 Integration Studio
- Connectors can be imported from the Connector Store via WSO2 Integration Studio.
- Connector operations can be dragged and dropped onto the canvas.
- For older connector versions, the init operation needs to be used to configure the connector.
- For recently updated connector versions, the initial connection configurations can be added as a local entry.
Learn how to connect to Cloud/web APIs via connectors and send/receive information over standard protocols using connectors in WSO2 API Manager 4.2.0.
