Overview
The service connectors in Informatica Cloud Application Integration (CAI) provide robust capabilities for connecting seamlessly to third-party API endpoints. These connectors are designed to handle a variety of protocols and data formats, ensuring compatibility with modern RESTful APIs as well as legacy SOAP services. They facilitate rapid integration by abstracting the complexities of API communication, enabling developers to focus on business logic rather than low-level protocol details.
Pre-Requisites
- Access to Informatica CAI: You must have access to the Informatica CAI platform where you can configure and manage integrations.
- Third-party API Credentials: You need valid credentials (for example: username and password) for the third-party API you intend to connect to using the service connector.
- Third-party API documentation: You need third-party API documentation to understand the API’s required parameters to configure the API properly in the service connector.
- Network Accessibility: Ensure that the secure agent or cloud server you will use for the service connection API call can reach the API endpoint over the network. This may involve configuring firewall rules.
