02Data
What you can sync.
- Place names
- Postal codes
- Countries
- Time zones
- Elevation
Load GeoNames place names on a schedule and keep every release in your Lake for trends over time.
Need more? Name any other GeoNames data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An API key
GeoNames uses an API key. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in GeoNames if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick GeoNames.
Open Lake, pick GeoNames in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the GeoNames API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the GeoNames documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example place names and postal codes), 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 GeoNames data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
