Custom Connectors

Visplore empowers users to seamlessly integrate their data sources into the system, even if they don't conform to out-of-the-box formats. This flexibility is achieved through a powerful framework that enables IT and Data Science departments to easily craft custom connectors using Python. From the end-user perspective, a custom connector behaves just like any other built-in data source. This includes scenarios where the most recent data is automatically loaded into pre-configured dashboards at start-up.

Using our plugin system for data connectors, it is possible to create a data integration with special/custom file formats, Excel sheets, custom databases (e.g. JDBC instead of ODBC, or InfluxDB), legacy databases, REST APIs, cloud buckets, or anything else that supports a Python API.

Special/custom file formats can be imported into Visplore through the Welcome dialog's "File" option:

More complex custom connectors can be displayed directly in the Welcome dialog. Controls for credentials, browsing, filtering, and custom options can be used out-of-the box for authors of a connector.

If you require additional information on custom connectors, please feel free to contact us at support@visplore.com. We'll be happy to provide you with comprehensive documentation on implementing your own custom connector.
