Bring Your Own Custom Data Sources
Bring Your Own Data
Section titled “Bring Your Own Data”If Credal doesn't have out-of-the-box support for your data source yet, there are several ways to bring your own data to Credal.
Upload to an existing system
Section titled “Upload to an existing system”If your content is low volume and changes infrequently, exporting to PDF or similar and uploading to a supported system like Google Drive or SharePoint offers you simplicity and the fastest setup time.
REST API
Section titled “REST API”Credal's REST API lets you upload documents and metadata to Credal. Once uploaded, you can use Smart Filtering to filter documents based on those metadata fields. You can use this to upload data from any source that you can access programmatically, e.g., custom in-house built systems or proprietary data vendors. For more information, see the Document Catalog API.
If you wish to opt in to permissions, you can specify permissioned principals in the API calls.
MongoDB Collection
Section titled “MongoDB Collection”If you can write your data to a MongoDB collection, Credal can sync this natively and map fields in MongoDB to the various fields (URL, metadata) needed to make a source usable in Credal. Your administrator can configure this in the Data Sources page. Contact your Credal team for help setting up.
