Cognite Extractors API

Extractors are tools used to move data from various source systems to CDF. The extractors API is used to manage extractor releases, give access to downloads, and contextualize which source systems each extractor is used to access.Each extractor has a list of releases, and each release may have a list of artifacts which are things like documentation PDFs, executables, and installers.Extractors may also be tied to source systems through solutions, representing concrete sources each extractor may connect to.The extractors API is currently read-only. In the future it may be possible to define per-project extractors. Because of this, cognite-maintained extractors and source systems currently have their external ID prefixed by `cognite-`.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cognite Extractors API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
