03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
- Signed requests (key and secret)
Alibaba.com uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token) or signed requests (key and secret). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Alibaba Group if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Alibaba.com.
Open Lake, pick Alibaba.com in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Alibaba.com API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Alibaba.com documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example orders and products), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Alibaba.com data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
