Hello Buddy,
Yes, you can create additional connectors using Python in Anaplan! While creating custom code scripts has its drawbacks, as you mentioned, Python offers a powerful and flexible approach for building tailored connectors. Here's how you can address your concerns with a Python connector.
Assuming you have the capability to extend connectors using Python Support, here's a simplified example of how you might create a custom connector class in Python. Note that this is a generic example, and you would need to adapt it to the specifics of your tool's API:
Find the code:
class CustomAPIDataConnector:
def __init__(self, api_endpoint, api_key):
self.api_endpoint = api_endpoint
self.api_key = api_key
def fetch_data(self):
# Implement logic to retrieve data from the API using self.api_endpoint and self.api_key
# Return the fetched data
# Example usage
api_connector = CustomAPIDataConnector(api_endpoint='https://api.example.com/data', api_key='your_api_key')
data = api_connector.fetch_data()
print(data)
Also, check/refer to your tool's documentation or support resources to understand how custom connectors can be integrated.
