How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Global Forest Watch Data API.
Open Lake, pick Global Forest Watch Data API in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Global Forest Watch Data API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Global Forest Watch Data API documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example tree cover loss and deforestation alerts), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
