Managing Connectors
Excludes Twitter Connectors
Please note that these instructions are for all connector types except Twitter connectors, which have their own endpoint. To manage a Twitter connector, please see the page for Managing Twitter Connectors.
Using LiveSourceApi Methods
In order to create and manage your connectors (excluding Twitter), we'll be using the LiveSourceApi
. Ensure you've followed the setup instructions in the Getting Started Guide and then instantiate the LiveSourceApi
as shown below.
connectors = layar_api.LiveSourceApi(layar_api.ApiClient(configuration))
Get Import Status
If you have just finished Adding Connectors From the API the first thing you'll need to do before you can manage your connector is make sure it has finished importing. For this, we'll use the connectorId
we received from the return object when we created the connector and the get_import_status
method as shown below.
import_status = connectors.get_import_status(connector_id)
while import_status < 100:
print("Import Status: " + import_status)
time.sleep(3)
import_status = connectors.get_import_status(connector_id)
else:
print("Connector import complete")
Get Source Documents
Once the connector has completed importing you can review all the documents contained within by using the get_source_document_url
method. This method requires the connector ID and can accept parameters to limit the number of documents to return or offset the beginning of the returned documents.
rows = 50 #Optional. Limits the number of returned documents
offset = 50 #Optional. The start offset for the first returned document
source_documents = connectors.get_source_document_url(connector, rows=rows, offset=offset)
pprint(source_documents) #Optional
Delete Connectors
If you would like to delete a connector you can do so with the delete_feed
method and your connector ID.
PLEASE USE CAUTION
This method will delete your connector immediately and irreversibly. PLEASE make sure you have the right connector ID and you are 100% sure you want to delete the connector and all of its contents.
delete_connector = connectors.delete_feed(connector_id)
pprint(delete_connector) #Optional. The response will not have any content but you can print the response type to make sure the connector was deleted successfully.
