Adobe Suite Connection specs API
Connection specifications retain the connector properties of a given source. A connection spec can be divided into three distinct sections, authentication specifications (authSpec), source specifications (sourceSpec), and explore specifications (exploreSpec). The authSpec defines the authentication type(s) that you can use to connect your source to Experience Platform. The sourceSpec consists of source connection parameters that a given source requires from a user. For example, the sourceSpec of a cloud storage source can require a user to provide values for path or recursive parameter. The sourceSpec also includes properties that are used when the source is displayed in the Platform UI catalog. The exploreSpec defines the structure of returned data when a source is queried against. Connection specs include a connection spec ID. This ID is fixed and each source on Experience Platform has its own fixed connection spec ID. This ID is required to create a base connection and a source connection. Connection specs are organization agnostic.
