What is the Data Sharing?
...
You have two possibilities:
1 If you have a public API
...
We strongly recommend you to use our Connector framework in Ruby on Rails, which will allow you to connect our API with yours, without messing with your code! Have a look at
...
our Connector framework documentation
...
and at Connec! documentation
...
to understand how to connect our APIs.
The main differences are related to data-sharing implementation:
The typical SDK integration is intrusive in the sense that application providers have to modify their application to include our SDK and send requests to our APIs on user interactions. With the connector approach, it acts as a bridge between the Connec! and the Application APIs so data-sharing is no longer implemented by the application but by the connector itself.
Benefits of using the connector:
- Not intrusive (runs outside of the application)
- Separate development life cycle (app providers do not need to release their application every time they update the data-sharing)
- Already implements logic for initial data import, Connec! webhooks for real-time updates
- Support basic configuration (enable/disable data-sharing, select entities to share)
- Development of the connector can be outsourced as the application code is not exposed (Maestrano can propose services for implementing it) Hosted on the cloud (Maestrano can provide support for hosting connectors)
