- An API key
eBird API 2.0 uses an API key. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Cornell Lab of Ornithology if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick eBird API 2.0.
Open Lake, pick eBird API 2.0 in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the eBird API 2.0 API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the eBird API 2.0 documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example observations and hotspots), 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 eBird API 2.0 data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
