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