Bring any API: OpenAPI import for custom pipelines

Have an API we don't have a connector for yet? Drop in its OpenAPI/Swagger spec and Databasin builds the ingestion configuration for you: endpoints, pagination, and schemas included.

Our native connector catalog grows every month — but the long tail of APIs is infinite. Now there's a fast path for all of it.

How it works

The Generic API connector can now import an OpenAPI/Swagger specification (JSON or YAML). From the spec, Databasin automatically detects:

  • Endpoints worth ingesting
  • Pagination strategy, so multi-page datasets pull completely
  • Schemas, so your data lands typed and structured

A few weeks later we added OAuth2 authorization support (February 27) for secured APIs, covering the auth pattern most modern SaaS platforms use.

The result: any documented REST API — your industry-specific SaaS, your internal services, that niche tool only your team uses — becomes a scheduled, incremental data pipeline in minutes. No connector request, no waiting, no custom code.

And when an API matters enough to deserve the full native treatment (curated semantic models, validated fields, guided setup), that catalog keeps growing too. OpenAPI import covers everything in between.
