04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Bus Open Data Service.
Open Lake, pick Bus Open Data Service in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Bus Open Data Service API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Bus Open Data Service documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example timetables and vehicle locations), 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 Bus Open Data Service data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
