02Data
What you can sync.
- Tables
- Tick data
- Q query results
Put kdb+ tables next to revenue and usage, so every cost has an owner and a reason.
Need more? Name any other kdb+ data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- A username and password
- Other credentials
kdb+ uses a username and password or other credentials. You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in KX if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick kdb+.
Open Lake, pick kdb+ in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Anything opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the kdb+ API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the kdb+ documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example tables and tick data), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
The connector agent writes a Python connector for kdb+, tests it against the live API and shows you sample rows. Then the data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
