Instantiate API & Build Request Body

When creating a new Connector, you can send a request body filled in with any of the Connector object properties.

For Twitter connectors, there are two required parameters: the connector_type and the keyword_filters. However, we recommend at least providing the connector with a name, so that you can retrieve it using other methods in the future. The following endpoints are autogenerated by Layar after your request has been made: created_by_user, date_indexed, and id. These cannot be changed by a user.

# Instantiate API endpoint
api_instance = layar_api.ConnectorApi(layar_api.ApiClient(configuration))

# Provide Parameters for Request Body
