connector
JSON over HTTP
Turn any JSON API endpoint into a queryable source.
Connection fields
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
url | Yes | URL of the JSON endpoint to fetch. |
user | No | Username, for HTTP basic auth. |
password | No | Password, for HTTP basic auth. |
There's no real query language here — whatever's typed into the query editor is ignored entirely. Every run just re-fetches url and returns whatever it received (an array of objects becomes rows; a single object becomes one row).
Example configuration
{
"url": "https://api.example.com/v1/orders.json",
"user": "",
"password": ""
}Caveats
- Query text is not sent anywhere and has no effect — this connector always re-fetches the same configured url, which is also what keeps it safe from a user redirecting the request somewhere else.
