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