Creating a new connector

Openlink give you the opportunity to create your own connectors so that you can establish data links to custom data sources (Mapper) and publish your data in custom repositories (Publisher).

A connector is a simple Django application that contains the Mapper or Publisher implementation in its code.

Create a Django app

First, create a Django app for your connector:

openlink startapp my_connector

Write the connector.py module

Then, add a python module connector.py in your app package.

Your connector.py module should implement a class that inherites from the OpenLink Mapper or Publisher class.\ Description, arguments and expected values are detailed in the API Reference section.
