Using GraphQL Connector with Agent

Ask the Community
1

I’m working with the GraphQL data connector for the first time and want to make sure I understand the steps. I have an agent set up within a customer network, and I’ve set up a GraphQL connector using that agent to hit the GraphQL endpoint.

Naively I thought I could just go to “Explore source” and see a bunch of data to sync. But seems like things aren’t that simple.

Questions:

(1) Do I have to download and install the JDBC driver somewhere? Or is that driver already backing the data connector?

(2) How will I use the data connector to actually get data? It seems like batch syncs are the way to go, but I’m not sure how to get sources to actually appear under the “Explore source” tab.

Any docs for the typical workflow here (GraphQL connector + agent)?

Hey @mdirks , I’m starting to work on something similar. Let me know if you ended up finding useful info that I can pick up as well!

I found that the easiest solution was to use a REST connector and just pass the GraphQL query as a payload to that. Not elegant, but it works.
