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