This course will be focusing on creating a Custom Connector from scratch. However, if the Connector you want to build has an OpenAPI URL, you can import it to Cyclr as a Connector using the “Generate from OpenAPI” button.
First, paste in the OpenAPI URL, and upload an icon for your Connector.
You also have an option to import the OpenAPI specifications if you have the JSON or the YAML, providing that it’s OpenAPI 2.0 or 3.0 compliant. Simply paste the entire contract into the field behind the “OpenAPI Specification” tab.
Once you have put in the details you have, click on the “Generate” button. Cyclr will then generate a Connector for you, complete with some readily available methods. This can take a couple of minutes.
Once the OpenAPI Connector is generated, Cyclr will show you which methods it has imported, along with details of any possible issues it detected. You can then access the Connector and customize the methods as needed, the same way you would with any Custom Connector.
